What material is the Securplumb Compression Stop End made of?
The Securplumb Compression Stop End (ST12516) is made of plastic.
Is this product compatible with all types of pipes?
It is designed for compatibility with standard UK plumbing pipes. Always check the specific pipe diameter against the fitting's specifications.

Troubleshooting
Leak at the connection
Ensure the olive is correctly seated and the compression nut is sufficiently tightened. Check the pipe end for damage or an uneven surface. Re-tighten the nut or consider replacing the olive and re-fitting.
Difficulty fitting the olive
Verify that the pipe is round and free from dents. Gently ease the olive onto the pipe; if there's resistance, check for burrs on the pipe end.
Fitting feels loose
The compression nut may not be tight enough. Apply an additional quarter-turn with a wrench. If it continues to feel loose, inspect the fitting and pipe for any signs of damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the pipe end is clean, free from burrs, and perfectly round.
- Slide the compression nut and then the olive (if separate) onto the pipe.
- Push the pipe firmly into the stop end fitting.
- Slide the olive up to the fitting.
