This certification indicates that the product has been tested and complies with the relevant European standard for plastic pipes and fittings used in building drainage systems, ensuring quality and safety.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the push-fit joint
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted to the correct depth and the O-ring seal is clean and undamaged. Re-lubricate and re-insert the pipe. Check for damage to the pipe end or the socket seal.
Difficulty inserting pipe
Ensure the pipe end is clean, smooth, and not deformed. Lubricate the O-ring and the pipe end. Ensure the pipe is being inserted squarely.
Pipe comes loose
The pipe may not have been fully inserted. Remove the pipe, check for obstructions or damage, re-lubricate, and re-insert firmly until the insertion mark is met.
