Hi,
I'm glad I found this thread! Just about to put down an engineered oak floor over a few of these and hope not to have to take it up again. I fitted them about 6 years ago joining copper to plastic pipe for a rad in a tricky spot, and to be fair have not had a problem. I was actually searching online to see if a supplier could be found for the 'O' rings only as I assume they have a finite life-span. I'm wondering now if I should replace all the grippers? I have a mixture of green and white coloured grippers although the dimensions seem the same.
I should point out that in a sound (non-leaking) joint the water does not come into contact with the gripper and so the Chlorine should not be affecting them anyway. But it is hard to argue with the excellent photographic evidence provided.
My question is: where can I get original 'O' rings and possibly grippers for these fittings?
Thanks
