Vaillant AroTherm plus flex connection???

[Myatix]

Hi All,

 

i recent brought a Vaillant AroTherm plus  ASHP and have started to install it with a set of Vaillant AroTherm plus flex hoses that I purchased from City Plumbing.

Previously it has been possible to shorten these flex hoses as the work the same way as solar thermal hoses.
 

see here:

 

However it Would appeal that they have changed the why they manufacturer the pipe. As there is no longer a circlip or bolt that fits over the corrugated pipe.

 

 

Does anyone know where I can get a nut and circlip that I can use to shorten these flex hoses?

 

The reason I need to shorten them is so I don’t end up with an air lock in the flex hose.

hope someone can assist?

 

cheers

Try this facebook page if you get no joy here. There has been some recent discussion about the changed hoses, mainly bc it is now difficult to get the olives on as well.
