Troubleshooting

Leaking connection

Ensure the rubber washer is correctly seated and not damaged. Tighten the connection firmly by hand. If leaking persists, check for cross-threading or damaged fittings.

Connector does not fit

Verify that your pipe outlet is 3/8" (13mm EU) and the hose/faucet is 1/2" (15mm UK). Ensure you have the correct adaptor for your specific plumbing sizes.

Reduced water flow

Check for any internal blockages within the adaptor or connected pipes. Ensure the adaptor is fully tightened to prevent air intake, which can affect flow.
