Hi everyone, got a question...
Got a leaking (well, very slowly dripping) connection between a short length of 15mm copper and a washing machine hose inlet pipe. The leaking connection is a 15mm compression fitting with blue isolation switch. It joins on the copper side with a normal nut and a plastic washing machine inlet tube connector on the plastic pipe side. The plastic connector is screwed onto the thread of the compression fitting.
From looking at websites offering these items it seems they would be bought separately. Are they even meant to be linked up like this?
The sites all show the washing machine connector as having a 3/4inch thread. Is this the same size as the thread on a compression fitting for 15mm copper pipe? If so, then I suppose the problem will just be the fitting or washer itself.
Sorry for what is probably a stupid question but I can't work it out by staring at it and scratching my head. Have tired that for a good half an hour.
Thanks for your help in advance...
Oh, forgot to mention, although you could probably guess it from my talk of washers but the leak is dripping from the plastic side..
