Troubleshooting

Leak detected at the connection

Turn off water supply, disconnect the extension, reapply PTFE tape or sealant to the pipe threads, and reconnect securely. Ensure the adjustable collar is properly tightened.

Extension piece does not fit

Verify that the connection is indeed 1/2" and that the existing pipework falls within the 50mm-70mm adjustable range. Ensure no debris is obstructing the threads.

Difficulty adjusting the range

Ensure the collar is loosened sufficiently before attempting to adjust. Clean any visible dirt or residue from the threaded sections.
