Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted to the internal stop and the compression nut is hand-tightened securely. Check the pipe end for damage or deformation. Verify the pipe is the correct 63mm MDPE type.

Difficulty inserting pipe

Ensure the pipe end is clean, squarely cut, and free from burrs. Slightly moistening the pipe end can sometimes ease insertion.

Fitting appears loose

Re-tighten the compression nut by hand. Ensure full pipe insertion before tightening. Mechanical fittings rely on proper pipe engagement.
