How do I remove the pipe from the fitting?

Insert the HepKey Release Tool into the fitting and push it towards the pipe. This releases the internal grab ring, allowing you to pull the pipe out.

Troubleshooting

The fitting is leaking.

Ensure that the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and has reached the stop. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting. If necessary, demount and re-install.

The pipe is difficult to insert.

Ensure that the pipe is cut squarely and that the end is free from any burrs or debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary.

The HepKey won't release the fitting.

Make sure the HepKey is fully inserted and aligned correctly with the fitting. Rotate the HepKey slightly while pulling the pipe.

Low water pressure.

Check for any kinks in the pipe. Ensure that the pipe diameter meets the requirements of the water system. Check for any blockages.
