BigSkyBrad Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 The other day I ordered some 40mm hose tails from a pipe fitting supply company for the 40mm hose I have. The hose has an exact internal diameter of 40mm. The hose tails arrived in quick time, and a test fit was like blocking the Dartford Tunnel with a Mars bar. The hose tails are embossed ‘40’ but at the widest point of the barbs, they are 37.4mm! I took a photo of my digital micrometer measuring the hose tail and sent it to them and asked for a refund. They came back and said a refund was no problem. But they also said… “These should still work, because a jubilee clip will help to create a seal” Z** D**** (Key Accounts Executive) I doubt the wee desk jockey has ever held a screwdriver in his life! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
