Troubleshooting
Leak at the G1/2 connection
Ensure the connection is securely tightened. Check that the rubber washer or seal within the fitting is present and not damaged. If damaged, replace the connector.
Leak at the M10 connection
Verify that the M10 fitting is correctly aligned and tightened onto the tap inlet. Ensure the tap's internal seal is intact.
Low water flow
Check that the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the flexi pipe for any kinks or blockages. Ensure no debris was introduced during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the water supply is turned off at the main valve or isolation valves before starting.
Carefully unscrew the old flexi pipe connectors from both the tap and the water supply valves.
Clean the threads on the tap inlets and the supply valves.
Screw the G1/2 end of the Heable connector onto the water supply valve, hand-tightening first, then using a wrench for a secure fit (do not overtighten).
Connect the M10 end to the corresponding inlet on the mixer tap.
Once both ends are connected, turn the water supply back on slowly and check thoroughly for any leaks.
Compatibility:
The G1/2 end is compatible with standard UK 1/2 inch BSP male threads found on most water supply valves.

Suitable for both hot and cold water lines.
Care:
Clean the exterior of the flexi pipes with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Periodically check connections for any signs of wear or leakage. Tighten gently if necessary, but avoid overtightening.
