Troubleshooting

Difficulty inserting flexible liner into adapter

Ensure the end of the flexible liner is not damaged or crushed. Gently twist the liner as you insert it. If necessary, slightly loosen the wingnuts to create more space.

Sealant not adhering properly

Wingnuts are difficult to tighten

Check for any debris caught in the threads. Ensure the liner is correctly seated within the sleeve before tightening the wingnuts.
