Bath Screen Hinge Leaking
Have just fitted a Bath Screen of the type with a fixed glass panel and
a hinged screen. The hinges are top and bottom with a seal running the height of hinged section. The hinges are essentiall cups fitted to the top and bottom of the fixed section into witch a matching piece with a spigot on the hinged section fits. A PDF of the only instructions that came with it is he http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23161586/BathPanel.pdf The problem is that whilst everything else is sealed water from the shower can get into the hinge around the cup and out the other side. This is not just a dribble but a veritable spray if the shower is in the right direction. My gut feeling is that there should be some form of seal in the hinge, perhaps an O ring of sorts although there is no evidence of a groove for this. Does anyone have any experience of this type of screen. Do they work and if so what stop the water getting through? Andrew |
