Is It a Leak or Just Condensation?

Moisture near fittings isn’t always a leak.

• Cold surfaces can create condensation

• During operation, condensation may drain normally through the system

• This is expected behavior

Common Leak Causes & Fixes

2️⃣ Use PTFE Tape and Tighten Correctly

• Wrap PTFE (Teflon) tape around threaded fittings

• Tighten gently — do not overtighten
