The o ring in this connector is so tight, I can't get the male end in all the way, so I can't get tight fit. It sprays without the O ring. Suggestion

I used a vice to squeeze the two parts together. After initial installation, I can now connect and disconnect

I think you have a lemon. Same thing happened to me. They must have poor quality control at the factory in China.

Only for a moment until I realize I'm pressing at the wrong angle. Sometimes I confuse the nozzle hole with the larger, more conspicuous charging hole. The nozzle won't fit there at all, but it's an easy mistake if I am distracted by talking, say. My best guess is you may be pressing at the wrong angle. Oh, and check that the circular cover is lined up over the charging hole. I hope your ptoblem has a simple fix like these.

Check your O-ring seals.... try a dad of vasaline on them and then tighten them up gently, not too tight so you don't damage the seals.

No. I purchased the gaskets, a "square corner" ring from Amazon, along with new flanges. I would not hesitate to use a properly sized "O" ring under normal operating conditions.

For me it was a matter of trying the gas connector on each post. If your connector goes in easy on the post then that's the right one. Do not force it.

When u put the o ring in it just has to be under the two nipples opposite the handle and compressed to be put under the blue plastic one by the handle. If the o ring doesn't look uniform you might need a new one. But otherwise it might make some noise at first while its building pressure but u got to let it build to seal. Maybe just test with low level of solely water as a preliminary. U'll figure it out just play around

Just follow the instructions that came in the box, but the connectors don't fit flush on the bottom layer squares. The two bottom holes go on the wires leaving the two top holes of the connector above the square. Thats where you can attach the next layer of the squares. Honestly i have to refer to the instructions each time i make them so i would hold on to them as long as possible or download another set, which they should be online or there should be a tutorial on youtube. Just beware you can pinch your fingers pretty awful in them.

I would call Omron. The port is the Tricky Bit. As other reviewers commented, not all ports are the same diameter. PLUS, I found I had to pull much harder than expected to remove the rubber cord. Once I coaxed the cord off, the ports were compatible. Careful slow pressure worked and the right size cuff was mandatory. Call Omron to be sure.

I did receive an o-ring, but the cap did not thread well with the can that I had. I had to screw it on extremely tight to get it to not leak. After a few times of using it, it partially shredded the ring.

I think the answer is you have the wrong size half inch hose. The irrigation industry makes two hoses one with a half-inch ID and one with a half inch OD that's the problem knowing which hose to use. The seller is not always clear to which of these sizes you are getting very frustrating

It was a tight fit for mine also. I used a little oil on the tube and just make sure you are inserting it squarely.

I've had to replace the original, I went to my local ACE Hardware and purchased a standard o-ring to fit, works great, better because it seems stronger, and hold tighter.

for some reason some people, including myself are having this issue... i was able to get the hoses in and out after taking the faucet apart and using a pen to manuever the end through. however, everything is so tight that i am unable to retract the hose and use the faucet as a handheld spray. really is a terrible design i am astonished how bad it is. i am not looking forward to replacing this hose which is inevitable happen again in the next few years.

If you're talking about the tight fit of the hose onto the connector you do want it to be tight. You can warm it as previously stated. I used a little saliva on it and that worked well enough.

Hello Frank, The connector doesn't click in place, but the fit is usually snug. If you still see metal when you connect it, go ahead and wrap it in electrical tape. Nathaniel www.FortressSecurityStore.com

you have to unscrew the nozzle and flip the connector/seals upside down, re-insert and re-tighten. See the image of the instructions on the product page product images.
