Default Compression joints and spinach.

Hi all,

OK...compression joints...

Hand tight and then 3/4 turn using a spanner.

When I do hand tight and then attempt a 3/4 turn...I give up.

Do I need to each more spinach?

Depends on what PIPE you are using. With copper its 3/4 turn. With a
chromed steel pipe is a LOT less.
