Anyone have trouble connecting the union nut to the header with the factory original header connection kit? The union nut would not even allow the 2 in connector fitting to pass through.

You might have the gasket ( O-ring) wrong. The o-ring goes on the pump then the 2" CPVC goes through the nut and the nut stews on to the pump. The pimp body has a grove for the o-ring to seat in.

Not exactly getting the picture you are describing....but we had to grind down the mesh guard (on the bottom of the heater) to get our piece to fit correctly.

No. Was package opened when you got it? This is for a specific Hayward variable speed pump only.

Hi, I dont know really. This sounds more like the connection. Make sure all the screws fit properly. Or the plumbings get connected well/tight? Wish you all the best.

The only problem I had was to get the pins to "snap" into the housing properly. It requires quite a bit of force to snap them in. There are several videos on youtube and I recommend watching some of them. After assembly I have had no problem connecting and separating the housing (connectors).

I'm not sure, I haven't ground it that fine but don't see why you can't if you tighten it up enough. Every couple of revolutions check and make sure the nut stays tight. That's the only problem I've had with mine, I haven't got around to putting a lockwasher on it.

I had the same problem until my son showed me how to put them together. But, maybe yours is different than mine. I thought I was going to have to buy an adapter but I was trying to put the new extension on first and then the the original on that. I had to add the extension on to the original. Once I put the original first and extension last it worked like it was supposed to. Not saying that will work for you but it did for me.

The connectors come off too easily. Maybe google the company to see if they sell more parts. We bought two and they connect.

That is a question for the manufacture. Apparently the friction on the tightening nut has failed.

I tried ineach of the two sockets, both up and down. Would not fitat all. Tried two other sockets as well. May just be my apartment although I have never had trouble with any other item. Just thought you might want to know.

Hi, it depends on your motor,motor saver,etc. Make sure the voltage and amps are correct on it should work. Mine came with multiple adaptors so not connection problems. Thanks Brian

I simply crimped and soldered it back together. The factory connection is only a crimp so i recommend soldering the connectors as soon as you a new unit. It will conduct the electricity better (doesn't heat up) and will not pull out as easily.

I had the same problem. My solution was my local Homedepot (or any hardware store) and purchased 1/4 thread rod and a union ( joins 2 threaded rods), cut it to fit and works great. Just take one of your end pieces with you and explain to an associate you dilemma and they will gladly set you up.

I had two very similar problems and unfortunately, no matter how tight I wrapped the pipe, it didn't work. I used JB Weld, (not the water one-that didn't work), and it worked on one and still holds. I had to replace the copper pipe on the other.

if you turned the 'squeezing' nut too much were the whole assembley turns you will never get it tight. you get one try at it then you have to back off the nut and drill out bad nutsert an try again with another there is no going back . you might find another one at a hardware store or email dee zee for another . good luck they are tricky!!!!

I had exactly the same thing happen with mine when I assembled it. I increased the torque & tightened the bolts so that they sunk into the tubing - the result was perfect. I think that they need to explain that these need to be super tight, so they have to actaully squeeze the tubing in a little. Hope this helps. Regards, PP.By the way, I am sure that you did this, but make sure that the washers are in the right way round, as they are the same anlge as the tubing.Good luck.

I remember the problems getting GM balancers on far enough for the bolt to get enough threads to pull it on and never having a SAE thread bolt to use in place of the GM bolt. This eliminates this problem. The kit has adapting screws for most engines.I bought it for the balancer on a 258 CU IN Jeep which was harder to install than a GM and had no problem.

You have to unscrew a coupling nut that is connected to a threaded rod. Its not too bad.

When I received mine both items were already assembled, and I have only removed them occasionally for cleaning. However, the inside nut turns on at least 1 to 1 1/2 turns after cleaning. You should differently contact the seller for parts that fit better.
