Troubleshooting

Difficulty fitting the kit onto the pipe

Check that the pipe end is clean and free of obstructions. Ensure you have the correct size kit for your pipe diameter.

Slight leakage after installation

Remove the kit and re-install, ensuring it is seated correctly and tightened sufficiently. Check the pipe for damage or deformation.
