Discuss Bathroom radiator hot on both hot water and central heating... in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Or fifty? When I wasn't qualified or working as a plumber, I reused a tap connector onto a new-secondhand FOV in a house I had lived in for 21 years. Unaware that the red bit was replaceable, I left the original washer in place. The washer was already at least 20 years old, and had, quite possibly, been in place since the house was built 49 years prior (in 1962) to my re-using the part. Or would you assume that the washer MUST have been replaced at some point? I'm assuming it may have sprung a trace weep at some point and then furred up.Yes , lol . Those pushfit connectors are the dogs pal , far better than a fibre washer that could last one week or twenty years .
Yeah, thought as much, but thank you for confirming. I'd never tried it as I had been told it wouldn't work/had read technical literature (and, probably, because I've never had occasion to put speedfit onto chrome). A bathroom installer, not trained as a plumber told me it wouldn't work, and I assumed that he'd found out the hard way.
I have tried it, then been able to slide the fitting off with out pushing the locking collar in..
