    Advice please -Air Compressor -Euro Coupler or PCL fittings?

    Great reply. Think I will stick with Euro Type then. Tbh I only use it a few times a year and yes the curled 3m hose is absolute pain! I have looked on EBay and all the hoses with mail/female ends seem to be PLE? I also noticed that you can just purchase the hose separately with no ends. I...

    Quick Question -McAlpine bath waste/overflow ?
