Hi hoping for some advice please.
I fitted a Bristan Easyfit mixer tap in my kitchen but the cold water continues to trickle when I close off the tap.
I was unable to fit this piece (first image) as my existing pipe work already has one of these on the cold pipe then a pip to another of these cutoff bales (for the dishwasher) and then more pipe that the existing tap cold inlet was joined onto (second image).
I’ve joined the new flexible hose from the existing pipe work to the tap (leaving out the part you see in image one)
Why would there be a continuous trickle of cold water from the tap?
Any help greatly appreciated. Is it necessary to add the valve (image one) to the existing pipe work? If so Can this be done without cutting any pipes (eg by some sort of adapter)?
Many thanks
Mark
