FX5 Lock Clamp Broke

[JasonsPlecosCichlids]

Just had one break, anyone have experience with running an Fx5 with one missing - leaking or not leaking? I ordered a few spares but need to get it running tonight if possible, if not then I will wait. Thanks

C clamps work great for me...

The screw broke? Knob? Or the orange plastic piece under the lid? For mine all of rhe orange plastic pieces broke off, I just use a needle nose pliers to tighten.

The orange piece did, it just broke in two.

Just tighten it with a needle nose pliers. All but one of mines are like that and there's no leaks.

I fired it up today and so far no leaks. Spare will be here tomorrow
