I.e. I didn't realise the taps wouldn't reach...But unfortunately you didn’t tell us that. We gave you the information to the question you asked which was to connect the flexi pipes onto 15mm pipe. Not connect 15mm to 15mm.

Change them for these.
I have only been plumbing for around 13 years but I have never had to put PTFE on a compression fitting.
Cheers mate. Your not doing to badly are you? Bit cheesy but I tell myself every morning that, everyday is a school day. Don’t think that there has ever been a day when I haven’t learnt something new.Slightly less time than me but knows more
I try my best, that's all I can do.Your not doing to badly are you?
That’s all that any of us can do mate.I try my best, that's all I can do.
As I said before and as @Riley said above. Hand tight and an extra half a turn. You will probably need to cut the olive and use a new one.
This was only after the leak after hand tight and an extra turnQuite possibly he’s over tightened them if he’s used all his strength. These fittings are meant to be just nipped up not strangled to within an inch of their lives.
If the olive has damaged the pipe then new pipe no PTFE.If the pipe is distorted you’ll need ptfe or a new section of pipe for the olive to sit on.
But had the olive been tightened on previously to this? If so then the damage may have already been done.This was only after the leak after hand tight and an extra turn
