Hello
I put an outside tap in for someone today, i tee'd of the cold feed to the cold tap in the kitchen using a speedfit tee onto the copper.
I connected everything up & turned the mains on and the connection to the tap was leaking at the speedfit joint.
I thought i had pushed the pipe in the full way but obviously i had not.
I turned the water back of and couldnt seem to push the pipe in anymore so i tigtened the knuckle of the speedfit with some water pump pliers and that seemed to work as there was no leaks.
I satyed for half an hour and the tee was bone dry.
Now i am worried as its on mains pressure it could dismantle itself and flood the kitchen of the client.
Has this ever happened to anyone before or am i just worrying to much????
Someone please put my mind to rest!
