Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation.

Check the joint for proper solvent welding. Ensure enough solvent was applied and that the parts were held together long enough for the weld to set. Replace the fitting if necessary.

Pipe doesn't fit into the fitting.

Ensure the pipe size matches the fitting size. Clean any burrs or obstructions from the pipe end. If necessary, use a pipe cutter to ensure a clean, even cut.

The system is draining slowly.

Check for blockages in the pipework. Ensure the knuckle bend is installed with the correct flow direction. Clear any debris that may be restricting flow.
