• Advantages and Disadvantages

A major advantage is the enhanced durability and long, leak free life provided by the ultra tough engineering plastics and the triple locking system which secures the connection up to ten bar. The flexible hose tail effectively prevents kinking, a common point of failure. A minor drawback is the necessity to ensure the hose diameter is within the specified range (12.5mm to 15mm) for a proper seal. Users must strictly store the connectors indoors or in a sheltered location when not in use to prolong their lifespan.

• Cautions

Ensure that the hose is inserted fully into the connector to prevent leaks or disconnections under pressure. Do not use the connectors with hoses larger than fifteen millimeter in diameter to prevent improper sealing and leaks. Avoid over tightening the connector during assembly. Check the connection regularly for signs of wear or damage to maintain a secure seal. Store the connectors indoors or in a sheltered location when not in use. Keep the connectors out of reach of children and pets.
