We have two RecProtek brand heavy duty protective covers for Rectus 21 type couplers* commonly used by water fed pole window cleaners to connect their pole hose to their main reel hose. Both will work for most situations with the main difference between the two being the size, and that the RecProtek Original completely encloses the coupler whereas the Slim version does not.


Please note these are both for use with 8mm OD pole hose. This is standard with Gardiner brand poles but may vary with other brands. Please check before buying.


  • RecProtek Slim- Tough protection, minimal size. 20mm width.

As well as providing great protection against wear and tear for your Rectus 21 couplers*, It has a width of 20.5mm fitting inside section 2 of Gardiner poles or through most rollers.

 Constructed from one piece, this is durable and very easy to fit. When disconnected, it will stay on the pole hose, protecting the Rectus 21 male plug from damage during storage.

 Micro/Mini size: Can be used for both 6mm ID Microbore or 8mm ID Minibore reel hose going to 5x8mm OD pole hose.

 Manufactured from tough, flexible material to resist abrasion and drops.

The maximum size O clip that can be accommodated inside the RecProtek Slim is a 7-9mm O Clip on the 5x8mm pole hose.

 

We recommend fitting at the end of your pole hose where it connects to your reel hose. This method is suitable for any pole.

If fitting near the base of your pole though, make sure that section 2 of your pole is wide enough to allow it to be pulled up into the pole.

  • RecProtek Original- Extra Tough protection for Rectus 21 type couplers*. 30mm width.

Not only does it protect the coupler from damage and accidental disconnection by completely enclosing it, but it also minimises snagging with its rounded shape.


Micro/Mini size: Can be used for either 6mm ID microbore or 8mm ID minibore reel hose going to 5x8mm OD pole hose.


The maximum size O clip that can be accommodated inside the RecProtek Original is an 11-13mm O Clip on the Main reel hose. 


Manufactured from tough, flexible material to resist abrasion and drops.


Please note: A RecProtek Original is made up of two halves which screw together, a male half for the Reel end and a Female half for the Pole end. You can buy an extra female half for the pole end to add extra poles to your setup.

For example: If you have 1 hose reel but use 2 poles, buy one RecProtek Original and one extra half for the pole end of your second pole.
