French Aire high pressure water connectors

[Feltwell]

Coming back through France we overnighted in a few village aires. One of them had a different water connector to usual - I forgot to take a picture, but it looked rather like a female airline PCL connector, one of these:-

Inserting the male part of the connector would have made the water flow.

Anyone know what these water connectors are and where I can buy a hose end adaptor?

I couldn't get water that night. Luckily the aire had a sign up saying that you could park behind the nearby church as well - that was a lucky find, a stunning 12/13th century church with a parking area behind all to ourselves, and an old fashioned drinking water pump!

I have seen those, just inserting a male hozelock type connection worked.

 

[Itsmcb]

Yep, standard Hozelock male fitting

 

[Feltwell]

Hmm, possible, this one looked smaller though. Might be a local anomaly! I have a double ended male hozelock adaptor in the "bag of bits" so I shall try this next time, thanks.

 

[Itsmcb]

Don't forget to report back in case we need another fitting for our arsenal

Just make sure you’ve got your hose connected first because when you push adapter in the water will flow straight away

Could have been a euro spec air fitting. Similar to one shown but they are shorter. Possibly fitted to stop taps being left on

Having heard of these I bought one six years ago.

Since then I have never come across one.

I would leave it behind next time but, then again, I would definitely find the connection that needed it.

The hozelock ones are great because they deter the disgusting idiots who rinse out their cassettes at the water tap.

I've come across quite a few of the Hoselock type ones and had the drenching to prove it.

inline tap with hoselock fitting each end works really well. I think they're great because its impossible to flush a casette.

You have just told everyone how to flush out the cassette with one.

Cam across one a couple of weeks ago in Roc Roi Aire and had me flummoxed. Realised I needed a double male connector one for me and one for service point. Bought one in Aldi a day or so later - probably never need it again!

 

[Ridgeway]

Could of been a Reich connection

Always carry a couple useful for joining hoses.

Yep Hozelock male to male adapters. Afaik they are mainly used on the urbaflux type bornes, I checked on CC-Infos ages ago and there were 6 pages of aires listed with this type of borne so worth its keeping an adapter in your connector stash.

I know theres one on the Chateaudun aire just off the N10 south of Marboue as I took a photo ..

they would still have to us their own stuff though, they cant get their mess in anyone else's water

I've just remembered posting about this type of fitting last September as we were in the shiny brand new Aire in the centre of Epernay and they had one there. It was confusing a lot of people.

Stopped here last year. Lovely little spot. Can’t remember any water issues tho. Maybe we didn’t use it…. Remember filling up with Champers tho……..
