What size connectors does this tool work with?

This tool is designed for use with both 15mm and 22mm tank connectors.

What material is the tool made of?

The tool is made of solid steel with a nickel-plated finish.

Is any special maintenance required?

Wipe the tool clean after use and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Can I use this tool for other plumbing tasks?

While designed specifically for tank connectors, it may be useful in similar applications involving 15mm and 22mm fittings. However, it's not a general-purpose plumbing tool.

What is the purpose of the removable tommy bar?

The removable tommy bar provides leverage, making it easier to tighten connectors, especially in confined spaces.

How do I ensure a leak-free connection?

Make sure to properly align the connector, and tighten it securely. If leaks persist, check the seal and ensure it is not damaged.

Troubleshooting

Connector leaks after installation.

Check the connector's seal. Ensure it's correctly aligned and tightened. Re-tighten or replace the connector if necessary.

Tommy bar is difficult to remove or insert.

Ensure that the end caps on the tommy bar are not damaged. If necessary, lightly lubricate the bar's connection points.
