Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the 15mm pipe is cut square and deburred using a pipe cutter and a deburring tool. Once the pipe is clean, push the stem of the elbow firmly into the existing push-fit fitting or pipe until you feel a positive stop. To maintain the system, periodically inspect joints for moisture or signs of stress. If you need to remove the fitting, use the appropriate release tool recommended for push-fit systems to avoid damaging the internal locking teeth.
