FAQs

What tools do I need to install this coupler?

You will need a pipe cutter, deburring tool, and an adjustable wrench of the correct size.

Can this coupler be used with plastic pipes?

No, this compression coupler is designed for use with copper pipes.

What causes leaks in compression fittings?

Leaks can be caused by improper installation, damaged olives, or overtightening.

How do I remove the coupler?

Loosen the compression nut with a wrench and pull the pipe out.

What is the lifespan of this coupler?

The lifespan depends on the quality of installation and usage conditions, but it is designed for long-term use with the provided 5-year guarantee.

Can I reuse the coupler?

It is generally not recommended to reuse compression fittings, especially if they have been previously tightened. It's best to replace them.

What is an olive?

The olive is a small ring that deforms when the nut is tightened, creating a watertight seal around the pipe.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the connection point.

Tighten the compression nut slightly. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the olive is correctly positioned. If the leak persists, disassemble, inspect, and replace the olive if necessary.

Difficulty in tightening the nut.

Ensure the threads are clean and free from debris. Use the correct size wrench and avoid cross-threading.

Fitting not sealing properly.

Check the pipe ends for burrs or damage. Ensure the olive is in good condition and correctly seated. Replace if damaged.
