Screwfix compression fittings
I recently used some of these and used Loctite sealant on the olives
to ensure a seal. Out of 20 fittings 4 leaked and had to be tightened up until creaking. Two where on plastic Speedfit pipe and the olives were wrapped in PTFE as per the Speedfit instructions. Previously I used mainly Conex fittings and never once had a problem. Has anyone else had problems with these fittings? Are they cheap made in China rubbish? Anyone have any recommendations of what and not to use? And who to buy from and not to buy from. TIA. |
