Troubleshooting

Leakage at the connection points

Tighten the compression nuts further, ensuring even pressure. If the leak persists, disassemble the fitting, check the pipe ends for damage or debris, and reassemble.

Difficulty in tightening the nuts

Ensure the pipe ends are properly aligned and the fitting is seated correctly. Use the correct size wrench.

The fitting is difficult to slide onto the pipe

Ensure the pipe ends are clean, smooth, and free of burrs. Use pipe lubricant if necessary.
