This is a brand new pipe, but the access plate can't tighten as the bolt thread seems to be miscast. Any remedy or should I get co back?
 
Call them back as it`s brand new. There is a remedy but why should it cost you to make good?
 
Thank you, will do. Out of interest what is the remedy, so I can check it with what they offer.

Either replace the bolts if the threads are damaged which is unlikely, use shorter bolts if they are going into a blind hole and touching the bottom or some people will use a thicker gasket if there is one which is ok as long as it seals or re thread the holes.

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
