Leaking Fittings

Leaking at the tap

If water is leaking from the top of the Universal Tap Connector, it is usually resolved by further tightening the connector on to the tap. Try using a towel wrapped around it to get a better grip.

Alternatively:
- Ensure the Universal Tap Connector is not cross-threaded and screwed tightly on to the tap.
- Unscrew the Universal Tap Connector and inspect the black washer in the top of the connector. If the washer is damaged or missing, replacements can be purchased here.

Spurting water between the fittings

Hoselink maintains a watertight seal via the o-ring to o-ring seal between fittings. If water is spurting out from where the two fittings connect, then it is most likely due to a missing o-ring.

To resolve:
- Disconnect the fittings from each other.
- Inspect the face of each fitting for the black o-ring.
- Replace the missing o-ring with a spare. Spare o-rings are supplied with all Hoselink connectors, kits, hoses and reels. You can also buy spare o-rings HERE.

Water trickling from the nut or between fittings

This is most likely caused by an incorrectly fitted Hose End Connector. You will need to remove and re-fit the hose on to the connector using the following instructions - click HERE to view.
