Leak at the joint

Check that the olive has been compressed correctly onto the pipe and that the compression nut is sufficiently tightened. Ensure the pipe is inserted fully into the fitting and that both pipe ends are clean and free of damage.

Difficulty tightening the nut

Ensure the threads on the nut and fitting are clean and free of debris. Make sure the correct size pipe is being used for the fitting.
