9. I’m experiencing problem to attach the nipple to the collector
Answer: The nipple is designed to be assembled and disassembled many times. If you experience
dripping or other small leakages from the nipple:
1. Disassemble the nipple using the provided wrench tool (or a standard mm combination wrench)
2. Check that the sealing is in a proper position
3. Assemble the nipple once again
4. Tighten the nipple firmly. The sealant need to be pressed all the way back in order for the
nipple to be tight
5. Secure the nipple with straps tightly
