What sizes are available?

What is the benefit of a compression joint?

Compression joints allow for easy connection of pipes and are reusable if necessary.

How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?

Ensure the pipe ends are cut squarely, the rubber seal is correctly positioned and not damaged, and the nut is tightened securely.

Can I take the joint apart after it's been assembled?

Yes, the joint can be taken apart, but check that the rubber seal hasn't been damaged.

What should I do if the joint leaks?

Disassemble the joint, inspect the rubber seal, and reassemble ensuring all parts are correctly aligned.

Is any special equipment needed for installation?

Troubleshooting

Joint leaks after installation.

Disassemble the joint, inspect the rubber seal for damage, and reassemble ensuring all parts are correctly aligned and the nut is properly tightened.

Pipe doesn't fit into the fitting.

Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and free of burrs. If the pipe is still difficult to insert, check for any obstructions inside the fitting.

Joint feels loose after tightening.

Tighten the nut further, but avoid over-tightening. If the joint remains loose, disassemble and check all components for damage or incorrect assembly.
