Hi all,

I am banging my head off the wall here...

I am trying to find the correct fasteners of which compress a 58mm outer diameter/50mm inner diameter ribbed flexible hose onto 50mm hosetails (2" pipe)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-inch-50...ondsWaterFeatures_UK&var=&hash=item27c54f2a71

Ive tried a few of these hoses and the one above is the best quality....




As of the pics they are leaking badly

I have tried normal jubilee clips but the 11mm band is not wide enough to compress the ribbed parts of the pipe

I have tried these

I got one of these today (21mm wide) but its to small and the larger 2" one is to big

I got these today..

These are the clips in the pictures...The 50.5mm - 56mm ones fit over the pipe just about and tighten up nice and tight but still leaks

The problem I am having is where the ribbed part of the hose crosses over it dosent cause a proper seal

These are an option but the tollerences are not good and they are very expensive

They come in left and right wound versions (Ive no idea in practise what left and right would means i.e looking down the pipe from what end)

I dont want to be goofing around with ptfe tape, various sealants etc as it will end up looking like a mess

There is water only going through the pipes/fittings moved via a pump so the pressure is not that high

Anyone any ideas?
