I have lost so many snap fitting due to them not wanting so grip the male fitting end Which then ends up in the bin as the suppliers will always blame you and charge you. This is a very expensive to solve this problem.
The solution is to file the top, side of the top flange round so it goes into the female part better. Do not round over the top only the tops ides as the top edge is what keeps it air tite but the squire sides and top cannot grip if the fitting have had a knock on the head of the flange were the water comes through/ By pounding the top sides the fitting even connects easer. Hope this all makes sence. Good luck

This is a problem we all have come on read it.

??? not a problem i've ever had to be honest. Can't understand the cure either - you'll have to simplify it for me I'm afraid.

Thanks FTP I will put up a drawing soon. I have read about many on the forum have a problem with snap fitting not working properly.

I have a drawing but cannot get it on here if the fitting was your nob then file the sides head round still keeping the hole flat. File only the side that are square if looking from the sides. So cannot explain better.

Thanks Jouk. Got it. ;)

Hi Jouk,i take it that you buy a set of each (male and female .do they do them with waterstop capabilities? I have a modular pole and think these may be good to use to put the hose internally!What do you think?
