Default My bellow issues

I bought a 3x3 Fernco bellow. First of all I think I got the wrong one, I need a longer one don't i? Secondly, my locking nut for my nozzle doesn't make it all the way through so I can't lock down the nut! Anyone else run into this issue? Thanks@

yes to the first answer 3 inches is way too small. I don't under stand what you mean, it doesn't make it all the way through? is the hole big enough? you might have to cut some of the rubber off to get it to come together.

1. The word is bellows, not bellow.

2. Yes, 3" is too short.

3. I don't understand this one either. There's no way the bellows is so thick that the threaded portion of the locking nut won't fit through it.

Thats just it...it is. The bellowSSSSS is to thick that I can't get the nut to thread on the the locking nut thingy. I guess noobody else has run into this problem? I have seen people use the stock bellowSSSSSS and tapped into that one, is this reliable enough? It seems very thin. Thanks in advance

if it's that thick why not just use one of the nuts just to hold the nozzle in. tighten the nut on the inside of it. and yes the stock one will work.
