I'm using a garden hose to supply water for my water blaster. Unfortunately I cannot buy suitable hose fittings for that purpose. The hose simply comes out of the fitting, usually when I am up high on scaffolding and have to climb down rapidly so the water blaster is not ruined by having no water. As an aside, why can't the water blaster just turn off if there is no water? My Karcher would rather just ruin itself.
I bought the most expensive brass hose fittings available. They are Neta brand.
There is another type of fitting called a barbed-tail hose fitting. It has a hose clamp supplied that looks like a Jubillee clip. That is better, but still not good enough. The hose will still come off the fitting. When the Jubilee clip is tightened it twists sideways and cannot be kept straight.
What is needed is a long tail which is narrower where the clamp goes. And I am thinking of making a decent clamp, the likes of which I have never seen anywhere. It will have two bolts that can be tightened as much as I want. I can clamp that on the fitting and discard the useless knurled ring.
Why do I have to redesign ordinary products all the time to get them to work properly? I would phone Neta but they seem to be in Australia, and nobody in my country seems to make anything that might have a slight chance of working.
I will admit that the water pressure around here is rather incredibly high, and most of you are probably not used to that, if you say that you don't have problems with hose fittings.
