FAQs
What material is the Securplumb Open Ended Spanner made from?
The spanner is constructed from a robust metal designed for durability and corrosion resistance.
What is the primary use of this spanner?
It is primarily designed for working with compression fittings commonly found in plumbing applications.
How long is the spanner?
The spanner has a length of 17.5cm.
Is this spanner suitable for very tight spaces?
The 17.5cm length is practical for many applications, but extremely confined spaces might require a shorter or more specialized tool.
How should I clean the spanner?
Wipe it clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and store it in a dry environment.
Does the blue color have any special properties?
The blue color is a cosmetic finish and does not affect the functional properties of the spanner. It may be susceptible to fading with extended heavy use.
Can this spanner be used for general nut and bolt tasks?
While it may fit some general nuts and bolts, it is specifically optimized for the hexagonal heads of compression fittings.
Troubleshooting
Spanner slips on fitting nut
Ensure the spanner size correctly matches the fitting nut. Clean both the spanner jaws and the nut to remove any grease or debris that might be causing slippage.
Difficulty applying sufficient torque
Verify that the spanner is fully engaged with the nut. For stubborn fittings, ensure you are using the correct technique for leverage and consider if the fitting may be seized or damaged.
Spanner appears rusted or corroded
While corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can still affect the finish. Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. Minor surface marks can often be buffed out. Ensure proper dry storage going forward.
