FAQs

What tools do I need to install this coupling?

You will need a wrench to tighten the compression nut. No soldering is required.

Can I reuse this coupling?

It is generally not recommended to reuse compression fittings. The olive (ferrule) deforms during the first tightening and may not seal properly if reused. Replace the olive if you must reuse the body.

What is the operating pressure for this coupling?

This coupling is suitable for standard domestic water pressure. Refer to the manufacturer's specifications for exact pressure ratings.

What materials is this coupling compatible with?

This coupling is compatible with copper, CPVC, and other common plumbing materials.

How do I prevent leaks?

Ensure the pipe is clean, the olive is correctly positioned, and the nut is tightened firmly, but not over-tightened.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement olives (ferrules) and other parts are available at most plumbing supply stores or online retailers.

Troubleshooting

The coupling is leaking.

Tighten the compression nut. If the leak persists, disassemble, inspect the olive and pipe for damage, and reassemble.

The coupling is difficult to tighten.

Ensure the pipe is properly inserted and the threads are clean. Use a lubricant if necessary.

The coupling is not sealing properly with CPVC.

Ensure you are using the correct olive (ferrule) designed for CPVC or PTFE tape can be used as a sealant. Make sure the CPVC pipe is not damaged.
