O Clips Removal

Hi i perfere using o clips to seal my wfp fittings as its quick to put on, but how do you get them off if you want to re-use the fitting? it just took me 30mins to pull a hose off my rectus 26. Very fustrating..... http://www.allpressuresprayersdirect.co.uk/o-clips-zinc-plated

Probably not going to be the answer you were hoping for being either a.) Yank it feckin hard till it comes off or the alternative option that I now choose to avoid the time consuming & frustrating a.) which is b.) buy a new one (usually involves just getting a pair of scissors, chopping the said annoying part off and attaching the shiny new bit.

As I warned, prob no the advice your were hoping for but I have had too many similar experiences to what you had today. Will be all ears if anyone has any alternative (less £) methods /emoticons/smile.png

Tin snips Perfect! i will try it, as wil the other post, thats how i usualy take em off but as i use 2 on each joint to produce a strong leak free seal, it makes it much harder /emoticons/biggrin.png

Use a pair of pliers to crush them longways. So on the picture on your link, you'd crush them with the pliers jaws at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. As you crush them inwards, the pressure against the fitting inside them opens the bit you previously crushed.

Hope that all makes sense.
