Tuff Tubeless Kit for Gardiner Pole
Tuff Tubeless: The Ultimate tubeless kit! from Rootek-Designs
For Gardiner Poles (CLX, SLX, Super Max and Xtreme Poles)
Tuff Tubeless complete kit for easy, one handed connection to the base of your pole.
All our products are designed to be extra 'Tuff' and deal with the challenges of everyday window cleaning such as the connector being dropped, stood on, driven over, dragged around and generally suffering wear and tear. Our products are tested in everyday conditions by window cleaners and have been in use for long term durability testing on our own window rounds.
How it works:
Similarly to other tubeless kits and many DIY solutions, it uses a variant of the popular Rectus 21 type coupler. The coupler has a protective sleeve and is pushed into the base of the pole to connect and also works as an ejector sleeve to disconnect
This is also the first Tubeless solution that has a coupler slim enough to fit into section 1 of a Gardiner pole, and therefore there is no need to use a spacer/collar to extend the length of your pole.
Features:
- Hard wearing protective ejector sleeve.
- Coupler is protected inside the pole, reducing wear and tear even further.
- Professional Coupler with compression fitting
- Bend protector to prevent the damage common to the tube at the base of the pole.
- No need for a spacer! -Keep your pole length compact.
- Works with all goosenecks including the new Gardiner 'water through' gooseneck and the Gardiner Gooseneck valve.
- Compatible with Univalve
Available as a Full Kit, or you can buy just the Pole Kit (to add an extra pole to your setup), or you can buy just the Coupler Kit for the hose reel side of things.
Also, we now have an extension for use when temporarily adding pole extensions to your pole. This is sometimes needed as the extensions can sometimes increase the length enough to make connection difficult.
This kit will work with any Gardiner telescopic pole (except the Ultimate pole).
Make sure you get the gooseneck type right!
- New Type = The new Gardiner 'water through' gooseneck with push fit or the Gardiner gooseneck valve.
- Old Type = The old style gooseneck where the tube is pushed freely through the shaft of the gooseneck
Choose the correct size!
In order to work better with the kit, we provide a hard wearing basecap to replace the standard one that comes with your pole.
Select the section number of the outer section of your pole to make sure the base cap is the correct size. The section number is marked on each clamp.

IMPORTANT
The coupler is designed for 5mm ID x 8mm OD pole hose which is standard with all Gardiner pole hose except their "Reinforced Flexible Pole Hose" which is 9mm OD and not suitable for the coupler.
The tube supplied for inside the pole is hot water suitable red semi-rigid LLDPE tube. Please use this rather than your own pole hose.
This only replaces your tube from the brush head 'T' splitter to the Tubeless coupler at the base of the pole. From the base of the pole to the main reel hose, you use your existing pole hose.
There are options for joining your pole hose to the reel hose such as our Tuff Connect, but this connection is not included in the tubeless kit.
