FAQs
Is this connector compatible with any fire extinguisher hose?
No, this connector is specifically designed for OMP fire extinguisher systems using black coated hoses with a 6mm outer diameter.
Can I use this connector with a 7mm hose?
No, this connector is only compatible with 6mm outer diameter hoses. Using a different size may result in a poor seal or failure.
What does '90 degree' refer to?
The '90 degree' indicates the angle of the connector between the hose inlet and the nozzle outlet, which helps direct the extinguishing agent effectively.
How do I know if this is the correct replacement for my OMP extinguisher?
This connector is Option 1, as supplied with OMP Platinum series extinguishers, and is designed for 6mm OD black coated hoses. If your extinguisher matches this description, it is likely compatible.
What is the main advantage of a 90-degree connector?
A 90-degree connector allows for better maneuverability and aiming of the extinguishing agent in tight or confined spaces, common in automotive applications.
Do I need any special tools to install this connector?
No, installation typically requires no special tools. The hose connects via a push-fit mechanism, and the nozzle screws on by hand.
Troubleshooting
Hose does not connect securely to the push-fit inlet.
Ensure the hose is clean, free of debris, and has the correct 6mm outer diameter. Verify that the hose is pushed in completely until it seats firmly. If the hose is old or damaged, it may need replacement.
Nozzle does not screw in properly.
Check that you are using the correct OMP nozzle designed for this connector. Ensure the threads on both the connector and the nozzle are clean and undamaged. Do not force the nozzle; if it resists, re-align and try again.
Leakage from the hose connection.
Remove and re-seat the hose, ensuring it is fully inserted. Inspect the hose end and the connector's push-fit mechanism for any obstructions or damage. If the problem persists, the hose may be compromised and require replacement.
