This elbow is sized specifically for 28mm copper piping.
Check if the pipe was fully deburred prior to insertion; internal scratches on the pipe end can compromise the O-ring.
Verify that the pipe end is not out of round and that all external burrs have been removed; apply a light application of non-petroleum based lubricant if necessary.
Confirm that your tool uses M-profile jaws. V-profile or other profiles are not compatible with this specific fitting type.
To ensure a successful installation, first cut the 28mm copper pipe cleanly at a 90-degree angle. It is critical to remove all burrs from both the inside and outside of the pipe end, as sharp edges can damage the internal O-ring seal during insertion. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting to the marked depth. Use only a compatible M-profile pressing tool and verify that the jaws are properly aligned with the fitting beads. Once pressed, do not attempt to rotate or dismantle the joint. Regularly inspect the jaws of your press tool for wear and tear, as worn jaws can result in inconsistent crimping pressure.
