Troubleshooting
Fitting leaks after pressing.
Ensure the pipe was fully inserted before pressing and that the correct press tool profile (U-profile) and jaw size were used. Verify the press cycle was completed correctly. Check pipe and fitting for damage.
Press tool will not engage or complete cycle.
Check that the press tool is compatible with U-profile fittings and the correct jaw size for 16mm pipes. Ensure the tool is adequately charged (if battery-powered) or that the hydraulic system is functioning correctly.
Pipe does not insert fully into the fitting.
Confirm the pipe end is cut square and free from burrs. Ensure no internal deformation of the pipe end. Check for any obstructions inside the fitting.
