Proper installation using the correct tools, ensuring the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting, and properly sealing the threaded connection are crucial for preventing leaks.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the press-fit connection

Ensure the pipe was fully inserted before pressing and that the correct press tool was used. Re-pressing may be necessary if the initial connection was not optimal. Inspect the pipe and fitting for damage.

Leak at the threaded connection

Verify the thread is clean and undamaged. Ensure appropriate thread sealant or tape was used and that the fitting was tightened correctly. Check for a compatible thread size on the mating part.

Press tool not engaging properly

Confirm the press jaws are the correct size for the 28 mm fitting and that the tool is fully charged and functional. Ensure the pipe is correctly seated within the fitting.
