Push-Fit

What should I do if a Push-Fit fitting leaks after installation?

Review the installation instructions to ensure all the pipe preparation and installation steps have been followed. Below is a list of the most common causes for a leaking Push-Fit fitting connection.

  • Improper pipe preparation, failure to make a square clean cut and deburr the pipe prior to installation
  • Failure to insert the pipe in axial alignment with the fitting can damage the O-ring.
  • Failure to insert the pipe all the way into the pipe-stop. This is why marking the insertion depth is so important to provide a visual means to inspect that the pipe has been properly inserted.
  • The pipe has foreign debris and or scratches or on the outside which prevents the O-ring from making a watertight seal.
  • Damaged “O” ring from improper pipe preparation.
  • Review installation instructions to ensure you've followed the correct steps. If still having issues, don't hesitate to contact our support team.

Only use dishwashing liquid soap and water to detect plumbing leaks. Avoid using 'Leak Detector' spray products.
