Hi Guys, Well ages since I've been on, and only just getting around to sorting out my WI I purchased from you. Anyway, today was doing a dry run and testing all the fittings and I found a problem. I purchased: 1 x Elbow for mounting the jet (black) one 1 x 3gph Jet 1 x Quick connector - Straight Now the Jet mounts into the elbow without any issues, but the quick connector, I can only get one turn on mounting it in the elbow before it locks up. What am I doing wrong ????? Also, does your UK stockist have the quick connectors on hand ?? Thanks Graeme |

The fittings should thread in 3 threads or so before they start getting snug. With NPT fittings you should be able to turn it by hand the first 1/3 of the thread. Then they should be completely tight with wrench by 2/3 thread.
