Troubleshooting

Connector leaks after installation.

Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the connector. Check for any debris or damage to the pipe or connector. If the issue persists, disconnect and reconnect the fitting, ensuring a clean and square pipe end.

Pipe is difficult to insert.

Ensure the pipe end is clean, smooth, and squarely cut. Apply a small amount of lubricant (such as silicone grease) to the pipe end if necessary.
