Tight sewer hose connections

[wojorv]

Would any one have a trick to getting sewer hoses disconnected that are too tight? Like many, due to some arthritis my grip isn't what it used to be. The Camco tool doesn't get any good reviews. I've tried some lubricant to no avail.
Thank You

I have had the same problem with my Viper hoses. I have a small flat screwdriver that I push into the connection and give it about a quarter turn and the hose come right off.

Got a couple strap wrenches, but the channel locks Wa8yxm is referring to really get the job done.

Same here. Tiny bit of dry silicone spray and those Camco sewer hose wrenches make it really easy. Been using them few years now and no problems at all. I give them 5* out of 5.

Original Dawn dish soap. It's slippery. Was even used to move a new bridge into position in MI when the original plan didn't work.

I appreciate this, now that my own wrists need help.

Thanks to whomever gave this thread a 'Bump'

I read it a long time ago and could not find it again to post a reply.

Harbor Freight

Channel lock

Turns out in the largest setting.. These are PERFECT for the job. Last used mine.... yesterday.

I thank the O/P for starting this thread as I've been fighting that Q@#$R@#$ cap for 13 years and he got me to thinking.. I've had that blang pliers set for 13 years too.

Oh I have a pair of the plastic "Sewer HOse Wrenches" in the prior post.. THey might work with Rinoflex but not with anything else. Not pleased with them at all. The Oil Filter wrench fits ALL.

Lube the connections. Strap wrenches, big channel locks, oil filter wrenches?

[Dick_B]

How about a dry teflon lube

[jkwilson]

A strap wrench (or two) might be the answer for you.
