New to the forum but thought someone out there might be able to help.
Anyone experienced problems with push-fit tap connectors leaking after a short period?
Sometime ago I fitted them to a pillar mounted deck bath tap and a few weeks later the hot connection leaked severely.
On inspection the rubber seal, chamfered style not flat washer, appeared to be scored, i assume by the tap body.
Today a friend of mine (kitten fitter) told me he had a problem with such a fitting on a kitchen tap and had I come across it before.
Is this a common problem?
Do the manufacturers know and have designs changed (I haven't used one since the incident)?
