Troubleshooting
Leaking joint
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the socket. Check for any debris or damage on the pipe end or inside the socket. Re-lubricate and re-seat the joint.
Difficulty pushing pipe into socket
Confirm the pipe diameter matches the fitting size (40mm). Ensure pipe ends are cut square and free from burrs. Apply silicone lubricant to both surfaces.
Joint not secure
Verify the pipe has been pushed in far enough to engage the internal retaining mechanism. Ensure the pipe is not deformed.
