Risoluzione dei problemi

Should issues arise, consider the following:

• Collegamento allentato: If the conduit or hub feels loose, re-tighten the locknut and the conduit connection. Ensure the sealing ring is properly compressed.
• Signs of Corrosion: If significant corrosion is observed on the metal components despite the PVC coating, the hub may need to be replaced. Ensure the PVC coating is not compromised.
• Ingresso d'acqua: If water or moisture is found inside the enclosure at the hub connection, check the tightness of the hub and the integrity of the sealing ring. Re-installation or replacement may be necessary.
