Troubleshooting
Fitting does not appear to be properly pressed.
Verify that the correct M press jaw tool was used and was properly calibrated. Ensure the jaw fully completed its cycle. Check if the fitting was pushed fully onto the pipe before pressing. If a leak is detected after pressing, the fitting may need to be replaced; do not attempt to re-press.
Leak detected after pressing.
The leak-before-press system should have indicated this during the initial press. If a leak occurs, the connection is faulty and the fitting must be removed (if possible) and replaced. Ensure the pipe is clean and free of debris, and the fitting is correctly seated before pressing.
Tool fails to complete the press cycle.
Check the tool's power source and battery level. Ensure the correct jaw is selected for the fitting size. Consult the press tool manufacturer's manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
