200xs water pressure hose

im hoping someone can help me here

I am in the process of changing the powerhead.

Having trouble matching the water pressure hose to fit the back of the gauge
as the new hose is the grey type. and im tryin to join to the old small black type.

The dealer over here has told me i need to order a complete gauge kit to get over this small and anoying problem,

is there a adapter to down size the hose?

Surely 1 of you boys has an answer.

Any help would be great


Thanks Frank

For a similar job, I got some plastic hose adapters from the irrigation section of the local diy centre. Don't think it was b&q but similar type shop!

Or, you can change the fitting on the back of most gauges

iv just replaced the pressure pipe on mine frank, had a small split in it and was looking for a joiner, no1 uses the old 3mm pipe anymore and couldnt find any joiners/reducers. so i went to bts and they made me up a new 4mm pipe with push fittings to match my dial and powerhead.

hope this helps
