Troubleshooting

Valve leaks after installation.

Ensure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve. Check for any damage to the tubing or the valve itself. Ensure the cut on the tubing is square. If the problem persists, disconnect the valve, re-cut the tubing, and reinstall.

Valve is difficult to operate.

Ensure the valve is free from debris. If the valve is still difficult to operate, replace the valve.

Valve fails to create a seal.

Check the condition of the O-ring inside the valve. If damaged, replace the O-ring or the entire valve. Also, ensure the tubing is compatible and properly inserted.
