Stayed in a hotel recently - the shower hose connectors at both ends
leaked
badly. They were a mess of sealant and PTFE tape.

I reported it to the reception. She said the "plumber" had recently
fixed it - and she would call him back!

Presumably he doesn't know that a rubber washer is needed and the
thread is
merely for providing a clamping force. I wondered if he really
considered himself to be a "plumber"?





probably a poster to this group...tee hee




I tend to think of "possession of PTFE Tape as implying some sort of
aptitude for plumbing."
