Troubleshooting
Fitting leaks at the MDPE pipe connection
Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully and squarely inserted into the push-fit connector. Check the pipe end for any damage or debris and re-cut if necessary. Disconnect and reconnect the pipe.
Fitting leaks at the threaded connection
Ensure the 1/2" thread is clean and properly aligned with the tap or fitting. Use appropriate sealing tape (like PTFE tape) on the male thread if required by your tap's installation instructions. Do not overtighten.
Difficulty pushing pipe into the fitting
Make sure the pipe is the correct size (25mm MDPE) and that the end is cut squarely. A slight chamfer on the pipe edge can help insertion. Ensure the fitting's internal mechanism is clear.
Wall plate feels insecure
Use appropriate screws and wall fixings for the surface material. Ensure the mounting surface is sound and can support the fitting and connected pipework. The fitting itself does not come with mounting screws.
