Power flusher help

[findmak]

Hi,
I have hired a Norstorm proflush, as i was going to powerflush my new radiator system. However the connections i have been given with the powerflush machine don't fit on the flow and return pipe of the central heating system.

Below is the fittings i have received.

These are the 3 types , i have two each of them.
I had thought they would just fit to a 22mm pipe and i would just tighten the nut with an olive. But none of them fit a 22mm pipe.

Can you please tell me how to connect it to a 22mm pipe?
thanks

The one on the left looks like it connects to a 15mm compression, not hugely useful as it would be better to connect to a main run if at all possible. The one in the middle I don't think is a connector for this purpose, it doesn't have the female coupling on it. The right hand one looks like it should connect to your pump valves and if at all possible these are the ones you should use. Turn off your electricity supply, turn off your pump valves, un-wire the pump and make the bare electrical ends safe, remove the pump, install these adapters and turn on the pump valves once you've connected everything else up.

hi,
i don't have a pump, as i have a combi boiler. So i guessing the pump adapter is useless to me. As you said the 15mm wouldn't give all the flow. So i am guessing it is not possible to connect it to the 22mm pipe
I thought this would be included in the kit?

I suggest you send it back and get a competent person in before you destroy something!
But then someone like yourself obviously does not listen because you know it all dont you! NOT

I am asking, so atleast i can get refund, as i think something maybe missing.
As it says in the description 'Each kit includes boiler adaptors'
When it looks like it is missing from my kit.
I just want to confirm this?

As stated above, give the machine back, and try to get a refund; you are just as likely to destroy things, as improving the situation. And that is being optimistic.
