Fitting the Uni-Valve is simple, but there is a common mistake to avoid. Follow our step by step below.
Step 1. Before fitting the valve, it's worth checking to be sure the Uni-Valve fits your pole - as this may not be the case with all brands/ models.
To fit the Uni-Valve for standard pole hose use the crimp clamps provided with thse valve (This may vary if you have a reinforced pole hose)
Step 2. The simplest way to fit the Uni-Valve is to remove the top insert to your pole, pull a length of hose out and cut the hose about 3 feet from the end, this will allow the Uni-Valve to sit comfortably in the top section of the pole.
*Depending on your model of pole, you may need to remove the top clamp also.
Step 3. Sleeve the hose either side of the Uni-Valve, ensuring the trigger (small grey section) faces towards the base of your pole. When doing so, ensure the sleeve does not go above the lip on the trigger, doing so will stop the valve from closing off completely. The image below helps illustrate this.
