Troubleshooting
Leak at the connection point.
Ensure the fitting is correctly aligned and hand-tightened first, followed by a gentle snug with a wrench. Check that the rubber washer or seal is present and undamaged inside the fitting before connecting. Do not overtighten.
Flexi pipe seems too short or too long.
While 500mm is a standard length, measure your required distance precisely before purchase. For very specific or unusual installations, alternative lengths might be necessary, though these are designed for typical kitchen tap setups.
Difficulty screwing the fitting onto the tap or valve.
Verify that you are using the correct end of the flexi pipe (M10 for the tap, G1/2 for the valve). Ensure the threads on the valve and the pipe are clean and free from debris. Try slightly loosening the valve connection to allow more wiggle room.
