Also can I connect 8mm I'd hose to 6mm I'd y piece for brush jet if I put O clips on and make them tight or do I need to buy another Y piece at 8mm ?

You need something like this: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login with an 8mm barb

and then You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login with a 6mm barb

We do them (obviously) but others do too.

I wouldn't have much hope of this working satisfactorily.  Would it not be better to use some of your Pole Hose to connect to your existing Y piece?

Another alternative is these:

The measurement on push-fit connectors is for hose OD though, not ID.

Ours are Stainless Steel, so should last longer than plated brass ones.  We only sell the best quality we can find.

They are also available to buy together with the female stop, as we recommend they are changed at the same time, and are cheaper when bought together.

We can't always compete on price for consumable items, as we don't stock these in volume, but have them for the convenience of our customers.  We do our best to provide spares for our products at a reasonable cost.
