CONNECTION TO YOUR PIPEWORK

evoUV Aquarium UV Steriliser is supplied with 19mm hosetails, complete with 
nuts and white flat rubber washer. Place the hosetail and nut over the male thread 
at each end of the unit. Rotate the hosetail to the position of your choice before 
doing up the nut until hand tight. The nut should be tight enough to prevent leaks 
but not overtightened using tools as it may crack or damage the thread.

Slide flexible pvc hose (not supplied,) over the barb of the hosetail at each end. 
This can be eased by dipping the end of the flexible pvc hose into hot water for 
ten or more seconds, which will soften it, make it more stretchy and the water will 
help to lubricate it.

If the hose is of the correct corresponding internal diameter no extra hose clips 
should be necessary, although for extra safety and owner peace of mind, non-
corrosive hose clips can be used (not supplied)

IMPORTANT: 

Do not overtighten fittings.
