Ariston europrisma Dielectric junctions

Anybody have any experience of fitting these units as these fittings seem to leak unless you use loads of ptfe on them to get a seal.

Anybody got any advice if they are needed? seen a couple just installed with flexes straight onto the top.

Fitting one in a church next week and dont want them to leak.

yea never fit them just use brass compression female irons

Says in the instructions they must always be fitted? Will it void warranty if I don't use them do you think?

dont see why threads are plastic/nylon and if joining with copper or brass its fine

they just end up splitting/cracking anyway (the adapters)

So if these were made available for rads, on a minging system it would stop the return rotting out first?

if you dont fit them you will soon see why they are provided. Not hard to seal with a few wraps of ptfe, just dont go mad or it all gets forced out of the threads.

any reason why ? as if you use a brass fitting there will be no chance of corrosion via electrolytic reaction

got one in a loo, no nylon fittings and it corroded out very quickly, replacement as per manual and its been there and is a clean as a whistle and no leaks.
