Troubleshooting
Connector leaks after installation
Ensure the pipe end was clean, cut squarely, and inserted fully into the connector. Check for any damage to the pipe or the connector O-ring. Re-seat the connection.
Pipe will not insert fully
Verify that the pipe is the correct size and type for the connector. Ensure the pipe end is free of burrs, dirt, or obstructions. Slightly chamfering the pipe end can sometimes help.
Difficulty removing pipe
Some connectors have a release collar. If fitted, push the collar inwards towards the fitting while pulling the pipe. If it's a permanent connection, it may require cutting the pipe.
