FAQs

What tools do I need to install the fittings?

You will need a pipe cutter, a wrench or pliers, and Teflon tape (PTFE) if needed.

Can these fittings be used with other types of pipes?

No, these fittings are specifically designed for connecting MDPE and copper pipes.

Are these fittings suitable for high-pressure applications?

Check the product specifications for the maximum pressure rating. Ensure the pressure in your system does not exceed this limit.

How do I prevent leaks?

Ensure the pipes are properly inserted into the fitting, tighten the compression fitting securely, and use Teflon tape on the threads if necessary.

Can I reuse these fittings?

It is generally not recommended to reuse compression fittings. Once they have been tightened, they may not seal properly if re-used.

Where can I buy replacement parts?

Replacement parts, such as compression rings, can be purchased from most plumbing supply stores or online retailers.

What's the warranty on these fittings?

Please refer to the product packaging or contact the manufacturer (B2C) for specific warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Leakage after installation

Ensure the compression fitting is properly tightened. Check for any debris or damage on the pipe ends or within the fitting. Teflon tape may be needed on threads.

Difficulty connecting pipes

Make sure the pipe ends are cut cleanly and squarely. Apply lubricant to ease insertion if needed.

Fitting not sealing properly

Check the condition of the compression ring and ensure it's correctly positioned. Use Teflon tape to seal threads for a better fit.

Fitting cracking or breaking

Ensure the correct size fitting is being used. Avoid over-tightening, as this can cause the fitting to fail. Replace damaged fittings immediately.
