Bayonet Hose Connector?
Just looking at the Rad again on the Xant TD. The two bigger pipes connect into female outlets with what looks like a wire clip?
Is this the dreaded bayonet connectors - whats the SOP for getting the hose off - do I just pull the wire up?
The smaller dia pipe halfway down connects via a spring clip
Cheers
Alan

Yes that sounds like the bayonet connectors, lift the wire spring clip out of the slot then manipulate the hose out by wiggling it etc.
