You've got to admire their optimism

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”

I doubt the wee desk jockey has ever held a screwdriver in his life!

Just hope he never gets a job at NASA!
