Hello.
Installing a shiny new Hudson Reed shower in France...
The shower comes with two stem adapters.
No matter how hard I tighten these they leak significantly....
BUT if I then remove shower and screw in the previous end caps...no leaks..in fact I only need to hand tighten these..
Pictures attached...could this be a thread issue ??
Thanks in advance.

How to identify dripping tap.
Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?
