Product Information
Full details
This SecureFix Direct Water Inlet Filler Cap is designed for caravan, motorhome, and RV owners seeking a secure and lockable solution for their fresh water supply. Its primary benefit is preventing water contamination through a well-sealed, lockable opening. A potential caveat is the need for proper installation to ensure a watertight seal. Key features include its durable construction, lockable design with two keys, a 0.5-inch air vent for rapid filling, and a secure three-hole screw fit.

How do I clean the water inlet cap?

Troubleshooting
Cap is difficult to lock or unlock.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the lock mechanism. Try applying a small amount of silicone lubricant to the keyhole and lock cylinder.
Water is leaking around the cap when filling.
Check that the cap is securely fastened and the mounting surface is flat. Inspect the rubber seal (if applicable) for damage or wear and replace if necessary. Ensure screws are tightened appropriately.
The air vent appears blocked.
Gently clear any visible obstruction from the 0.5-inch air vent using a soft brush or compressed air. Do not force anything into the vent.
Screws are not holding the cap securely.
Ensure you are using screws appropriate for the mounting surface. If the holes are stripped, consider using slightly larger screws or a suitable sealant/filler.
