Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting pipe into the insert
Ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and is not deformed. A slight twist may help seat the pipe initially. Always use Speedfit pipe.
Leak detected at the connection point
Confirm that the correct Speedfit pipe and fitting are being used. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the Super Seal insert and the insert is fully seated in the fitting. Disassemble and reassemble the connection carefully.
Insert seems loose in the fitting
Verify that the correct size insert (10mm) is being used with the corresponding 10mm Speedfit pipe and fitting. Re-seat the pipe and insert into the fitting.
