Troubleshooting
Leakage at the fitting connection
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and that the Superseal insert is correctly installed within the pipe. Check that the fitting is not damaged.
Difficulty inserting the insert into the pipe
Ensure that the pipe end is clean and free of debris. Use a small amount of lubricant (such as silicone grease) to ease insertion. Make sure you are using the correct size insert for your pipe.
The fitting is difficult to disconnect
Use a Speedfit pipe removal tool to release the pipe from the fitting. Ensure you are following the correct procedure for removal.
Water hammer or noise in the pipes
This is unlikely to be caused by the inserts, but by the water pressure or other issues. Check the water pressure and consider installing a water hammer arrestor.
