How much collar engagement does a spiral fitting need?

If the collar engagement is too short to hold, do not trust the joint. Replace the fitting or add an approved coupling/detail with proper overlap.

['A spiral joint needs enough overlap to fasten and seal. If the pipe only catches a tiny bite of collar, vibration and pressure can walk it apart.', 'Check insertion depth, collar condition, pipe cut, and fitting type. Recovery is usually a proper long-collar fitting, approved sleeve/coupling, or replacement fitting before final seal.']
