The Claber Hose Threaded Adaptor is compatible with 1/2” (13-16mm) hoses and 1/4” (4-6mm) feeding tubes.
What tap thread sizes does the adaptor fit?
It fits taps with 3/4” (20-27mm) and 1/2" (15-21mm) threads.
How do I prevent leaks?
Ensure all connections are tightly sealed. Check for proper washer placement and inspect hoses and tubes for damage. Teflon tape on tap threads can also help.

Is the adaptor durable?

Troubleshooting
Adaptor leaks at the tap connection.
Tighten the adaptor onto the tap. Ensure the rubber washer is correctly positioned and in good condition. If the leak persists, consider using Teflon tape on the tap threads.
Hose or tube leaks at the adaptor connection.
Tighten the hose or tube connection to the adaptor. Ensure the hose/tube is fully inserted. If needed, replace the hose/tube or use a hose clamp for a tighter seal.
Difficulty attaching the adaptor.
Ensure the tap threads are clean and free from debris. Try applying a small amount of lubricant to the threads for easier attachment.
