This product is manufactured by Automotive Plumbing Solutions.

Ensure you are using the correct adapter for the thread sizes and type (BSP). Verify that the mating threads are clean and free from damage. Do not force the connection; try re-aligning and threading gently.

Check that both connections are sufficiently tightened. Ensure that the mating ports are clean and that any required sealing compound or tape (if applicable to your specific system) has been correctly applied. Verify the integrity of the threads on both the adapter and the components.

Confirm that the adapter is fully seated and that the threads are properly engaged. If the system requires it, consider using a thread sealant or appropriate washer for the specific application. Overtightening can sometimes strip threads, leading to poor seals; ensure proper torque is applied.
