bathroom shower wands always leak
at the connection between the metal pipe and first plastic fitting. tried everything it always leaks a little. its in the shower so i never cared.
my girl friend complains. I was on a trip to new york, we stayed at a friend of hers. the shower had no leak. the first fitting was a large thick nut like connection. all the shower wands i find locally have a thin fitting. my theory is this fitting expands a little and leaks a little. all the stores around here dont appear to carry the good design. The resident of the place we stayed hasnt a clue. She says the building supplies that wand, and I looked their was no manufacturers name on it.... somehow this drip has became a issue any ideas? I have use pipe dope, teflon tape, combo of tape and dope. Have thought about trying RTV but dont want to create more troubles when it needs replaced in the future |
