Troubleshooting
Fitting won't push onto the pipe.
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and that the pipe end is clean, round, and free of burrs. Check that you are using the correct 22mm fitting for your pipe.
Leak detected at the connection.
Remove the pipe and fitting. Inspect both for damage or debris. Ensure the pipe end is cut square and insert it fully again. If the leak persists, the fitting may be damaged and should be replaced.
Difficulty removing the pipe from the fitting.
Use a proper pipe release tool designed for push-fit fittings. Ensure the tool is correctly positioned to depress the grab ring before pulling the pipe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the pipe end is clean, dry, and free from burrs or damage.
- Mark the insertion depth on the pipe (refer to manufacturer guidelines if available, typically around 15mm for 22mm pipe).
- Firmly push the pipe into the elbow fitting until it reaches the marked depth. You should feel it seat securely.

Compatibility:

Care:
No specific maintenance is required for the fitting itself under normal operating conditions. Periodically check existing installations for any signs of leaks, particularly after system pressure changes or if there has been significant pipe movement.
