Troubleshooting
Fitting does not seal properly / leaks occur.
Verify that the correct press tool and jaws were used and fully actuated. Ensure the MLCP pipe was properly inserted and has the correct 2mm wall thickness. Check for any damage to the pipe or fitting before pressing.
Difficulty inserting MLCP pipe into the fitting.
Ensure the end of the MLCP pipe is cut squarely and free from burrs. Confirm the pipe diameter and wall thickness match the fitting's specifications (25mm diameter, 2mm wall thickness). Lubricate the pipe end slightly with water if necessary, but avoid excessive force.
Press tool is not engaging the sleeve correctly.
Confirm that the press jaws are the correct size for 25mm fittings. Ensure the jaws are clean and free from debris. Check the press tool's operational status according to its manual.
