How do I clean the McAlpine Spanner?

What is the main benefit of using this specific spanner?

The main benefit is ensuring a secure, reliable fit for 70/85 mm shower trap flanges, which helps prevent leaks and simplifies installation and maintenance.

What happens if I use this spanner on a different size flange?

Using the spanner on a flange outside the 70/85 mm range will likely result in a poor or insecure fit, potentially leading to leaks or damage to the flange or tool.

Troubleshooting

Spanner does not grip the flange.

Ensure you are using the correct spanner for a 70/85 mm flange. Check that the flange is not damaged or excessively worn. Align the spanner jaws carefully with the flange slots.

Difficulty turning the flange.

If the flange is very tight, apply steady, even pressure. Ensure there are no obstructions or debris preventing movement. If the flange is stuck, a small amount of penetrating oil may help, but use cautiously near seals.

Spanner feels loose on the flange.

Verify that the flange is indeed within the 70/85 mm size range. Inspect the spanner jaws for wear or damage. If the flange is smaller or larger than specified, this spanner will not provide a secure fit.
