ACCESSORIES

Brand NEW! April 2022

Purpose built to help you secure stacked Multi-Reels and Compact Multi-Reels when in storage. This strap also makes single hand carrying for a pair of reels easy.

Our Multi-Reels are designed to stack in pairs with the winding knobs of each disappearing into the petals of the partner reel. This strap wound through the center of the stack and over the bottom secures them in position while in transit.  It also adds a splash of colour just for fun :D 

The same strap fits both the compact and original Multi-Reel sizes.

Flat Out now has it's own mascott, an aussie goanna, and he's doing doing his best to "Keep it REEL"! 

Also proudly Australian made this stubby cooler adds just a bit more fun to your collection, and acts as a great talking point for your next camp-site beverage with friends new and old. 

A little bit extra on our story... your cheeky lizard drinking artwork was lovingly drawn by owner/director Zoe's mother, Helen. (Actually it started with a graphic artist's impression and as Helen was sketching her feedback the rest of the family unanimously decided hers was so good she got lumped with the task of completing him.)

This is the B.E.S.T. Water Filters brand model 322HB that we buy in for your convenience. Connect it to your flat out hose and then use a short hose (eg P11 or P13) to connect it to your van.  We love it, not only because it's Aussie Made but because it is simply better than alternatives. 
Containing SilverSafe technology it removes taste, odours, bacteria and parasites. It has no set replacement times, and if the water slows too much, simply reverse it and flush it out, it will start working the other way.  It's compact and produces great tasting water for far longer than other similar sized models. For more information feel free to visit the BEST Water Filters website.

Why Filter My Water? 

Whilst we at Flat Out personally choose to filter all water used in our vans (pressure or tank connected); if you are tank filling it is a very, very wise thing to do.

Over time any silt or dirt particles in the water will settle and create a sediment in the bottom of your tank - which is of course almost impossible to clean! But that isn't the main reason. Council water in Australia is treated for bacteria with chlorine, but if water sits for as little as a couple of days, the chlorine will evaporate. Now if bacteria or other nasties have a chance at entering your tank (and they will because tanks need vents to fill with air as the water leaves them) you risk getting sick.  As Colin from B.E.S.T says, "It only takes one bug to ruin a whole holiday!".

We love the BEST water filters because they have so much more silver than any competitor filter, meaning the filter never goes green on the inside, nor does your tank! Fine silver particles enter your tank with the water that flows through the filter, and do not disappear like chlorine does. Silver is known for its bacteria annihilating ability, and it is also healthy for you to consume in small doses. 

 

Filter replacement for B.E.S.T inline filters, unscrew the brass fittings from your existing unit and use on this one when you swap them over. You will save money and also be recycling!

When do I change my filter?

Your B.E.S.T water filter is back-flushable and will not clog with dirt. The silver concentration in these units is higher than any other filter we know of and will outlast the carbon, so coupled with its 2 way feature that ensures no bacteria will grow inside the unit, you don't have a time-frame for replacement. 
Yet, as with any filter over time, the microfine carbon will eventually reach its capacity to remove the bad tasting minerals from the water. Depending on the quality of water you push thorugh the filter, will be how long this takes. The 'rating' is 5000L but you will simply know it is time to replace your filter when the water starts to taste bad. 

If you use an external water filter (recommended), your long hose goes from tap to the filter and this short hose is used to connect the filter to your caravan/motorhome water inlet. 

This filter attachment is made of the same high quality taste free hose as the rest of our range, has the beautiful and ever-so-practical brass fittings, and takes up very little room. 

This 0.7m long hose will bend a curve of about 90 degrees when under pressure, so if you wish to put your filter at a specific angle, we suggest using the swivel attachment to the van: P8 or P5.

25cm taste free solid hose with brass snap-on connector. This is a spout used to fill your tank when not connected via the pressure inlet. 

This is our premium grade tank filler with lovely brass fittings for longevity and because it's nice to match the rest of your set. P14 has the same purpose simply with plastic fittings.

Attach to caravans/motor homes with a USA style female water inlet. On BSP end you can attach P4 or P8 or any standard 12mm snap-on tap adaptor ready for your hose.

BSP female threaded with ¾in and 1inch options with swivel head and downward pointing male snap-on adaptor brass

Threaded USA male water inlet connector with swivel head downward facing snap-on brass

Use to attach your Flat Out hose to your USA style caravan/motor home water inlet. Most water inlet tanks are made by American companies (eg Dometic) and if the inlet is female threaded it is likely to be NPT, which is a different guage to the thread standards in Australia. The standard in Australia is BSP. In a nutshell, if you have an inlet to your van that has a thread on the inside, you need an NPT threaded item to attach your hose to. 

This unit has the correct thread for your inlet and is coupled with a spiffy swivel snap on tap adaptor so you can have the ultimate smooth downward angled connection removing potential bumb hazards as people walk past your van.

Replacement or Extension 25mm Sullage hose - 3m long.

Our sullage hose is much more user friendly when stored on the reel, however if you wish carry an extension for the odd time your 9m isn't long enough, this is highly compact and can be stashed in the back of your useful things tub for that just in case moment (if doing this you will also need a spare joiner S5). 

Includes one short length of 25mm hose and barbed elbow to point the outflow downwards.

This item is used to fix your sullage hose correctly if your van has a 25mm horizontal grey water outlet. Essentially the same as the drain adaptor included in 25mm Sullage on Multi-Reel purchase but for a different purpose.

This item would be useful if you are interested in our most compact sullage model C3 (6m 25mm hose) yet your outlet is 32mm OD. We only recommend downscaling to a 25mm hose if you have a holding tank to buffer high flow times. Otherwise we suggest you matcvh your hose to your outlet and use the M4 allowing maximum flow rates.
