• Pipe Preparation

Cut the PE pipe square using a suitable pipe cutter.
Remove any burrs and mark the insertion depth for proper alignment.

• Fitting Assembly

Loosen the compression nut and insert the pipe until it reaches the internal pipe stop.
Ensure that the O-ring and grip ring are properly seated within the fitting.

• Tightening

Hand-tighten the nut, then use a strap wrench or appropriate tool to fully secure.
Avoid overtightening, which may damage the fitting or pipe.

• Testing & Commissioning

Pressurise the system gradually and check all joints for leaks.
Reinspect fittings after pressure testing to ensure secure assembly.
