Troubleshooting
Fitting does not connect securely
Ensure the pipe is cut square and deburred. Verify the pipe is fully inserted until it reaches the end stop or the indicator is engaged. Check for any obstructions in the pipe or fitting.
Leak detected at the joint
Turn off the water supply. Remove the fitting and inspect the pipe end and fitting for damage. Ensure the pipe end is clean and re-install, ensuring the secure connection indicator is visible.

This may indicate the fitting has not been pushed on far enough. Carefully remove and re-insert the fitting, ensuring full insertion until the indicator is properly displayed.
