Home / Compression fitting nut will not bite threads

Compression fitting nut will not bite threads

Back to List

I purchased a Sentinel HDi65 dehumidifier and I am attempting to attach the drain hose to the water pump connection fitting. The hose is 99.5mm (probably 1cm) O.D. and easily pushs onto the connector. However, the compression nut will not thread onto the fitting with the hose properly attached. It easily catches the thread and tightens onto the fitting without the hose. Any suggestions?

 

I have pushed against the nut with fingers, tools, and used a wrench to try to turn the nut with pressure pushing the nut against the threads, but it doesn't help.

Hi Nicholas, you can try to pull out the water pipe joint a little bit, and then push the nut towards the joint with force. Turn the nut 1-2 times, and the water pipe will be firmly connected to the joint.

This simply does not work.  I've tulling out the pipe little by little and trying each time with no luck.  The only way it catches properly is when the hose isn't connected to the fitting.  Packed this up and sending back.  At this price point, users shouldn't have this frustration and no wifi on unit?
