Troubleshooting
Leak detected at connection point
Ensure connections are tightened appropriately. If leaking persists, check the rubber washers are correctly seated and undamaged. Re-tighten or replace washers if necessary.
Water flow is restricted
Check if the isolation valve is fully open. Ensure the flexi pipe is not kinked or severely bent, which can impede flow. If the problem persists, debris may be in the system; consider flushing.
Connector does not fit tap or valve
Double-check the thread sizes. While this connector has M10 and G1/2 fittings, verify they match your specific tap and valve threads before installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the water supply is turned off before beginning.
Identify the water inlet connections on your tap (usually G1/2).
Screw the M10 end of the flexi pipe to the corresponding inlet on the tap.
Screw the G1/2 end of the flexi pipe to the water supply valve.
Hand-tighten both connections first, then use a wrench to tighten another half to three-quarters of a turn to ensure a secure seal without overtightening.
Turn the water supply back on slowly and check for leaks.
Compatibility:
Tap Connection: Designed with an M10 thread, primarily for monobloc mixer taps. Verify your tap's specific inlet thread size.
Water Supply Connection: Features a standard UK G1/2 fitting, compatible with most standard UK water supply valves and isolation valves.
Care:
These connectors are designed for minimal maintenance. Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Do not overtighten connections during installation, as this can damage the seals or threads.
