Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection point.

Ensure the 15mm pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and the pipe end is cut square and free from burrs. Check the 1/2" connection for tightness. If the leak persists, disassemble, clean the pipe end and fitting, and reassemble.

Difficulty inserting the pipe.

Verify the pipe is the correct diameter (15mm) and that the end is clean, round, and free of damage. Slightly moistening the pipe end can sometimes help. Ensure no debris is inside the fitting.

Fitting does not seem secure.

Confirm the pipe has been pushed in fully until it stops. The internal mechanism locks the pipe in place. For the 1/2" outlet, ensure the thread is properly engaged and tightened according to standard plumbing practices.
