How do you change a coupling that is leaking?

You thread on the lack end and then you pull the green end towards the black end and it disconnects or connects. The green part is called a quick disconnect.

It's a simple replace. The black end of the coupling screws on to the flexible hose which goes up into the faucet neck and the green end is a quick connect(pull on green plastic) on to the rigid pipe coming out of the faucet mixing valve.

Depends on where it is leaking. Use teflon tape on the thread or check the washers.

I have had this problem 3 times. Returned twice, third time found a fix online: 1) check the gasket, as mentioned. you may need to flip it 2) use pliers or a vice grips to "overtighten" it. If you follow the instructions and tighten by hand, you will have a problem with the metal fitting leaking. This is technically a defect, but it can be corrected very easily.

I would removed both gasket on each side and do it again and tighten it enough so that it does not leak. If it still leak, go to any hardware store and just get a new gasket.

No coupling is supplied. You can probably reuse your old coupling if its in good shape. The pump has a shaft that slides into the coupling.

It's a simple modification. Just remove the other coupler and replace with new one.

I did not try to do this so I cannot really provide any specific direction. However, if I were attempting to do this the first step I would take would be to heat the current plastic fitting with a hair dryer and hope that this might (note....might, no assurance,) loosen the fittings up so I could twist them off with pliers.

I am sure there is a way to patch it, but the company has a pretty good warranty and a lifetime warranty against leaks. I haven't had any troubles with leaking yet with moderate use so far.

Hi Vikas, i had that same problem in the beginning, I changed the hose and it still happened but it wasnt drastic, i tightened the hose and since its been fine with no problems. Not sure where it is leaking from but check the hose connections, I hope this helps.

make sure water pressure is OFFyou cant release coupling if under high pressureshut water off ...press hanle and let out water...then it will release..What every one thinks is that this is a auto-shut off connection...its notHope this helps..mike

The connection on the unit is a male hose thread. Since the end of the hose you use is also a male hose thread you must have an adapter that will go from male-to-male. One comes with the unit but I had numerous leak problems with mine. Since it was plastic when I moved the unit, pulling the hose along, the threads would loosen then leak. I purchase a brass one instead at a local home store and that solved the problem.

Also just noticed on mine that it does have a removable piece with a button on it that attaches to the tool, never even knew it came off, but pressed the button and pulled it off and you either may or may not have that coupling with your set... won't hook up without it though. Good luck again! Let me know if you need a pic of that coupler and get me your email... not sure I can post a pic in this place.

It's just a simple compression fitting and should work without any issue on the replacement. I'd use the same hoes and the new fittings. You should be fine. If you drilled new holes I expect keeping the old holes from leaking would be an issue sooner or later.

All of the fittings one this are threaded. No quick connect. I don't know of one.

use a big pipe wrench and turn it. I had to turn on my electric heater and let it get hot to break it loose.

I think it depends where the leak is. If it's in a flat smooth area a tire or swimming pool patch might do. If it appears to be near a seam or valve it may be more difficult to fix.

I had the same problem. I don,t think things were metric but I used plumbers tape and tightened the connection as best I could. 18 months later it still works and no leaks.
