Troubleshooting
Leak at the connection point
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and that the pipe end is clean, round, and free from debris. Re-seat the fitting.
Fitting won't connect to the pipe
Verify that the pipe is the correct 22mm diameter and that the pipe end is clean, not damaged, and free of obstructions. Ensure no internal pipe inserts are preventing full connection.
