FAQs

What tools are needed for installation?

You may need a pipe cutter, a wrench or spanner to tighten the compression nut, and possibly a deburring tool.

Do I need to use any sealant?

No, the compression fitting typically creates a watertight seal without the need for additional sealant, provided the installation is correct.

Can I use this fitting on hot water pipes?

Yes, this fitting is suitable for both hot and cold water applications.

What is the lifespan of this fitting?

With proper installation, the fitting should last for many years. It is designed for long-term use in plumbing systems.

Is it suitable for potable water?

Yes, this fitting is designed for use in potable water systems, ensuring that the water remains safe for consumption.

What if I can't tighten the nut enough?

Make sure you're using the correct size wrench. Check that the olive is correctly seated, and the pipe ends are properly prepared. If problems persist, consider replacing the fitting.

What if I overtighten the fitting?

Overtightening can damage the olive and the pipe, leading to leaks. If you suspect you've overtightened the nut, loosen it slightly and check for leaks.

Troubleshooting

The connection is leaking.

Tighten the compression nut further, ensuring it is not over-tightened. Check the pipe ends for proper preparation.

The fitting is difficult to tighten.

Ensure the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Use the appropriate tools for tightening the compression nut, and apply even pressure.

The fitting does not fit properly.

Verify the pipe sizes and ensure they match the coupling's specifications. Check for any damage or obstructions within the coupling.
