Ensure the pipe and fitting are clean and dry. Apply heat evenly to the fitting and pipe, allowing the integrated solder to melt and flow naturally into the gap. Avoid overheating.

Ensure the pipe and fitting were thoroughly cleaned before assembly. Reheat the joint evenly, focusing heat on the fitting body. Verify that the correct heat level was applied and maintained long enough for the solder to melt and flow.

Reduce the heat intensity of the torch or the duration of heating. Apply heat more gradually and evenly around the fitting. Ensure sufficient solder was present; if not, the fitting might be faulty or the heat was applied too long in one spot.

Check for any burrs or imperfections on the pipe end after cutting or cleaning. Re-clean or re-chamfer the pipe end. Ensure the fitting itself is not damaged or obstructed.

The joint may not have been fully soldered or there might be a gap. The fitting will need to be removed (if possible, or cut out) and a new one installed following the correct procedure.
