Troubleshooting
Fitting does not appear to seal properly after pressing.
Ensure the pipe was fully inserted into the fitting. Check that the correct M press jaw was used and the press tool completed its full cycle. Verify pipe and fitting are clean and free of debris.
Leak detected after installation.
The leak-before-press system should ideally prevent this. If a leak occurs, depressurize the system, remove the fitting, inspect both the pipe end and the fitting for damage or debris, and re-install with a new fitting if necessary. Ensure correct pressing procedure was followed.
Press tool fails to complete the pressing cycle.
Check the power source or battery of the press tool. Ensure the correct jaw size is selected and properly seated. Consult the press tool's manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
Corrosion or discoloration on the fitting.
While manufactured to high standards, extreme environmental conditions or incompatible fluids can cause surface changes. For functional issues, contact PrimaFlow support. Ensure the system fluid is compatible.
