Yoyo hose, retractable when stored

For its 2019 catalogue, Accastillage Diffusion has added the Yoyo hose. This expandable model will be particularly appreciated when storing it on board a boat.

Not much to say about a pipe? Plug it in and water comes out the other end? Yes, it is the idea of the garden hose that is used on a boat to rinse the deck and hull or to fill the tanks with fresh water. If all the pipes can easily fulfil this function, another problem arises when it comes to storing this famous pipe in a trunk.

Indeed, a pipe makes knots, loops, eightes... It gets blocked everywhere and does not hold easily rolled. Anyway, it takes a crazy place in a trunk. Unless this pipe is stretchable. In this case, simply plug it in and it doubles in length.

Under the pressure of water from the domestic network (about 3 bars), the Yoyo pipe is extended by about twice its length. For example, the 20-metre model only measures 10 metres once the water pressure is removed.

Tuayu Yoyo

Composed of an extensible hose, fittings and a multi-jet gun, this Yoyo hose extends and retracts by itself as the water passes through it. It is manufactured by Fitt, a world leader for 50 years in the production of pipes, hoses and systems for the transport of liquid, gaseous and solid substances.

Some will remember pale copies of stretchy pipes, so fragile that the slightest scratch would pierce them when they were under pressure. With the Yoyo hose, this problem does not occur. They are much more resistant and even have the possibility to repair themselves in case of leakage.

Guaranteed for 5 years, the Yoyo hose is available at Accastillage Diffusion in three lengths (maximum length extended): 15, 20 and 30 m for a price ranging from 34.90 euros to 49.90 euros.
