di vessels connections popping off when tank full
« on: May 12, 2015, 09:30:44 pm »
Hi, anyone got a fix for stopping hozelock connections popping off when the tank shut off stops the water flow?
Driving me nuts because it doesn't always happen. ( i use twin di vessels as my tap water is only 30 tds)

Try Gardiners  qr connectors.  Expensive but won't pop off.

you're welcome, links below. i would suggest swapping plastic tap socket connectors for metal ones to stop any potential leaks.

How about using a mix of large and small cable ties so as they cannot come off.

Hi
I use a piece of thick wire from Twin and Earth cable. Cut into the shape of a horseshoe and clip behind the collar. Dead easy to remove when you need to and it locks the collar and stops it from disconnecting.
Very simple but I use it on all the hozelock connectors and since have had no Pop-offs!
