FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

Can this coupler be used for high-pressure applications?

Troubleshooting

The joint is leaking.

Check if the nut is tightened correctly. Ensure the rubber seal is correctly positioned and not damaged. If necessary, disassemble the joint, inspect the components, and reassemble.

The pipe won't fit into the fitting.

Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and free of burrs. Make sure there are no obstructions inside the fitting. Check the pipe's outer diameter to ensure it matches the coupler's size (40mm).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure you have the coupler, pipe cutter, and any necessary tools.
Pipe Preparation: Cut the pipes squarely and remove any burrs.
Assembly: Unscrew the nut from the fitting, removing the washer and rubber seal. Place these over the pipe end, in the correct order: nut, washer, then seal (dished side away from the nut).
Insertion: Push the pipe into the fitting as far as it will go. Slide the seal and washer forward into position.
Tightening: Tighten the nut until a watertight seal is achieved. Avoid over-tightening.

Compatibility: This coupler is compatible with 40mm waste pipes made of plastic and copper. It is not designed for use with high-pressure systems.

Care: Regularly inspect the joint for leaks. If disassembly is needed, check the rubber seal for damage and replace it if necessary.
