Troubleshooting
Connector is difficult to attach to the tap.
Ensure you are using the correct size tap connector (3/4" or 1/2") or the provided adapter for older tap styles. Make sure the tap is clean and free of obstructions. Wetting the tap slightly may help. Verify that the tap's threading is compatible.
Hose connector leaks at the tap.
Check that the hose end connector is fully clicked into place on the tap connector. Ensure the internal seals within the hose end connector are clean and undamaged. Verify the hose is securely fitted to the hose end connector.
Water leaks from the hose end connector itself.
Inspect the seals inside the hose end connector for any damage or debris. Ensure the hose is properly inserted and secured within the connector. If the hose itself is damaged at the end, trim and reattach the connector.
Connector won't 'click' into place.
Confirm that both the tap connector and the hose end connector are correctly installed and aligned. Check for any obstructions or damage preventing the locking mechanism from engaging. Try wiggling the hose connector gently as you push it onto the tap connector.
