Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking after installation

Ensure the pipe and fitting were clean and free of oxidation. Reheat the joint thoroughly, allowing the integrated solder to fully flow. Check for any physical damage to the fitting or pipe.

Solder did not flow properly

The fitting may not have been heated sufficiently or evenly. Apply heat more intensely and directly to the fitting body. Ensure no flux was used, as it is not required and can interfere with the integrated solder.

Fitting is difficult to slide onto the pipe

Verify that you are using a 22mm pipe and that the pipe end is not deformed. Ensure the pipe end is clean and free of any burrs or obstructions.
