Troubleshooting

Fitting not sealing properly

Ensure the pipe end is clean, cut square, and inserted to the correct depth. Check for any debris inside the fitting.

Difficulty pushing pipe into fitting

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and not kinked. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be used on the pipe end if necessary, but avoid petroleum-based lubricants.

Leak after installation

Demount the fitting and inspect both the pipe end and the fitting for damage or debris. Re-cut the pipe if damaged and reassemble carefully.
