Troubleshooting
Clamp not tightening securely
Ensure the clamp is correctly positioned over the barbed connector and the pipe is fully seated. Check that the pipe diameter is precisely 16mm internal. Re-adjust the pipe and clamp, ensuring firm pressure when squeezing the ends.
Slight drip at connection point
Verify the pipe is fully inserted onto the barbed connector. Ensure the clamp is locked completely and that no part of the pipe or fitting is obstructing the clamp's grip. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting.
Difficulty releasing the clamp
Press the release tabs firmly inwards with a thumb or finger. If resistance is high, gently wiggle the clamp while applying pressure to the release tabs.
