Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Ensure the pipe ends are cut square and are free from burrs or jagged edges.
- Thoroughly clean the exterior of both pipe ends to ensure the rubber makes direct contact with the pipe surface.
- Slide the coupler onto one pipe end until it is deep enough to allow the second pipe to be inserted.
- Align the pipes, slide the coupler so it is centered over the joint, and position the stainless steel jubilee clips.
- Tighten the clips evenly using a screwdriver until the band is snug. Avoid overtightening to prevent damaging the rubber or stripping the clip threads.
For care, periodically inspect the jubilee clips for signs of oxidation if located in high-moisture environments. Ensure no heavy objects are pressing against the coupling that might create an uneven seal over time.
