Loc-Line Too Loose?

[jbilliel]

So I bought a pair of 3" Loc-Line nozzles and to my surprise they are very loose. They are the correct size (3/4") and will pretty much flop around. They were connected to the stock Aqueon 3/4" Reef Ready Loc-Line. Has anyone else seen this issue?

I've noticed different manufacturers feel different when combined. Some are loose, some are too tight. Deep Blue locline specifically seemed far from spec.

Post a picture, or video. Loc line normally locks together very well, it can be really hard to snap together or take apart. A pair of Channellocks are sometimes helpful.

It took a pair of channel locks to take it apart and the new nozzle I was able to snap on without too much hassle. I am not questioning the size of the line. I measured across and see that 1/2" Loc-Line has an OD of more than 3/4" so perhaps I have 1/2" Loc-Line and it was my screw up? I looked on Aqueon's site and no luck. I do know that the return piping is 3/4" and the threaded pipe that the loc-line screws into is 3/4"
