Done a few of these now but dont like using Jubilee clips as they are never perfectly round and are prone to leaks.
Can anyone suggest a better idea.
Thanks GrahamRe: FDW20 Heater Change
You can get the blitz clips that are already fit to them,use a pair of pincers to tighten them up.
Personally I have never had a problem with the jubilee clips we use quite a narrow flexible one and it pulls in no problem.Re: FDW20 Heater Change
Been using the Trade Mk Jubilee clips that are not very narrow or flexible.
Where do you get your clips from Kiddo.
Thanks GrahamRe: FDW20 Heater Change
have changed hundereds of these and I use a terminal screwdriver to slacken the clip off by inserting driver in raised part of clip and twisting slightly to releave tension on clip . remove heater , insert new heater and retighten clip with either sidecuts or endcut pliers.

if you mean the tube heaters I get skinny jubilee clips from Perrys, our local vauxhall dealership. They’ve never let me down (the clips) and they don’t cost a fortune either.

Try http://www.stagonset.co.uk jubilees in stainless 7m wide very adaptable and good quality and not the heavy gauge type so form well around the heater tube,used on commercial dishwashers etc.
