FAQs

What is the maximum bend angle?

The MINIFLEX-2 can bend up to 90 degrees.

What materials is the connector made from?

It is manufactured from flexible PVC material.

How do I install the connector?

Simply push the connector onto the pipes. No tools are required.

What is the extended length of the connector?

The connector extends from 125mm to 175mm.

Can I use this connector with hot water?

It is generally suitable for standard plumbing applications. Avoid use with extremely hot water or chemicals.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

While durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may affect the material. Consider the environment before use.

Troubleshooting

Connector leaks after installation.

Ensure a secure push-fit connection. Check for any obstructions or debris preventing a tight seal. Tighten the connection if necessary.

Connector doesn't fit onto the pipe.

Check the pipe diameter against the connector's specifications. Ensure the pipe end is smooth and free of burrs.

Excessive bending causes kinking.

Avoid bending the connector beyond its recommended limit (90 degrees). Use multiple connectors if necessary to achieve the desired angle without kinking.
