I don't even understand how, but its still slipping after screws and wrenching On the clamps today. Kept holding the wedge down which was a pain.

Ill be calling them tomorrow.

i dont see the ability to upload the file but they provided me with a document explaining how they do this now.

the side elbows actually slip into the T and the set screw is sent through the T and the metal ebow, truly locking this bad boy in place.

im more than excited as I almost lost my mind yesterday dealing with the wedge being held up all day yesterday!

Fresh Air Exhaust - it basically forces the exhaust deeper into the water to reduce the amount that you might breath in from standing on the platform, surfing, etc.

Mine is still holding, I am a little confused on how you did yours the first time.

I put a screw through the rubber boot and then through the T on both sides, I did the same on each elbow. So 4 screws total going through the boot and through either the elbow or T with the clamp holding them in place. I used 3/4" long screws.

Is that not how you did yours originally? I am only concerned mine will slip again.

Thanks,
Jason

I had mine exactly how you said. Noticed that the flex I was getting was a tiny bit just from the hose itself stretching. Just barely enough to get in the way of the wedge.

Fixed it today and its even more solid. Now on each side a screw goes through the hose, through the T, and through the elbow on each side, metal to metal, so this thing is not rotating.
