Troubleshooting

Pipe will not insert into fitting

Ensure the pipe is cut square and free from burrs. Check that the collet is in the correct open position and that you are using the correct size 25mm insert.

Leaking connection

Remove the pipe, inspect the O-ring for debris or damage, ensure the pipe surface is smooth/undamaged, and re-insert firmly until it bottoms out.

Difficulty disconnecting pipe

Ensure the collet is pushed fully into the fitting body evenly while simultaneously applying a firm pulling force on the pipe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a leak-free installation, ensure the MDPE pipe end is cut square and is free of burrs or surface debris. Always utilize the correct John Guest pipe insert for 25mm MDPE pipe before pushing the pipe into the fitting. Push the pipe firmly into the connector until it bottoms out against the internal stop. No specialized tools are needed. To demount, push the collet against the body of the fitting while pulling the pipe out. The fitting should be inspected for debris periodically if removed during system maintenance.
