Troubleshooting

Connection appears loose or leaks

Ensure the pipe was pushed in fully until the In4Sure indicator engaged. Remove the fitting, check the pipe end for damage or burrs, clean it, and reinsert firmly. Verify the pipe is within tolerance for Hep2O systems.

Difficulty demounting the fitting

Make sure you are pushing the collar inward towards the fitting while twisting and pulling the pipe. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the demounting collar. Some initial resistance is normal.

In4Sure indicator does not engage

Check that the pipe is the correct size and has been inserted to the full depth. Ensure the pipe end is clean, square, and free from obstructions. If using a non-Hep2O pipe, verify its compatibility and condition.
