Troubleshooting

The connection is leaking.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the adaptor. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting. If necessary, demount and re-insert using a new fitting.

The pipe is difficult to insert.

Ensure the pipe end is clean and free of burrs. If necessary, use a pipe cutter to make a clean, square cut. Consider lubricating the pipe end with a suitable lubricant.

The fitting won't demount.

Ensure you are using the correct HepKey release tool. Make sure the tool is properly engaged before attempting to remove the pipe.
