Full Version: Rhino Filter Plastic Strap/clip
Any idea how the plastic straps and clips that come with the rhino filter actually connect? Do i need em or not bother?
I got so pi*sed off with trying to suss it out, I gave up and used sellotape 
. There's no instructions, so thanx Jointhogger for giving me some sort of clue as to what to do - I now have 2 bits of plastic strips and some plastic thingies that I don't know what to do with 
. Any ideas on a postcard etc,. as to what I can do with them to BB and maybe Rhino can put instructions in the box

heres some more pics if your still stuck
this is what you start of with, the cord & plastic clip.

you push the cord through the plastic clip.

then you put the end of the cord back through the clip like this & you push one of the small locking bars inside the loop.

heres both sides of the cord looped & locked, its easier if the CF isnt fitted in place but its still do able,
you just pull the end of the cords to tighten things up.

Nice!!!
I got the rhino filter yesterdaY and had a look at these plastic bits....
Just shook me head, threw them over me shoulder, and got the Royal mail red rubber bands out, perfect for the job....
When the bands perish I might have a look at these proper straps again, thanks Jointhogger..

Fuck the clips, the real question is how the hell do you fit the ducting onto the carbon filter talk about fits like a glove its so tight!

tell me about it.Tighter than a nuns cunt!
They shoud make the ducting a couple of mil bigger
never used to use a cf in the early veg weeks. Try and save its life span a bit
but I just leave the fucker on now. To much grief getting it back on.
Hantshaze........
as soon as I opened the box could tell they were shite so threw then in my 'grow spares' box. Just put mine up and used the tent ties to secure the cover in place.

i cut a 1 1/2 - 2" line into the duct end & fit it onto the CF, then use decent gaffa tape to hold the ducting on,
then its on with the jubilee clip, then another bit of gaffa tape to make sure its airtight, it works for me
i dont get it once you wrap them around the filter wtf do you attach them to? and how? what do i do?... drive a screw through the strap to the roof or what?
no, just make sure its as tight as you can get it, failing that, 2 cheap bungee cords should sort you out

huh?
are these things meant to just keep the sleeve on? or are they to hang the filter from the GS?
