FAQs

What tools do I need?

You'll need a pipe cutter, a deburring tool, and a wrench of the appropriate size for the compression nut.

Can I reuse this fitting?

Yes, but you may need to replace the olive if you disassemble the fitting.

What pipe materials is this compatible with?

Check the packaging for the pipe material compatibility.

How tight should I tighten the nut?

Tighten the nut by hand first, then use a wrench to tighten it a further one to two turns. Do not overtighten.

What if the fitting doesn't seal?

Ensure the pipe is clean, straight, and fully inserted into the fitting. Tighten the nut, but do not overtighten. If the leak persists, replace the olive.

How do I drain the system using the drain tap?

Simply open the drain tap to release water from the system.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the connection.

Tighten the compression nut further. If the leak persists, disassemble the fitting, inspect the olive and pipe end for damage, and reassemble ensuring correct alignment.

Difficulty in tightening the nut.

Ensure the pipe is properly inserted into the fitting and that the nut threads are correctly aligned. Use the correct size wrench.

The drain tap is leaking.

Check that the tap is fully closed. If the leak persists, tighten the tap or replace the valve.
