I got a couple of these cylinder connectors today from Screwfix but they don't contain washers ....Should they or do they not need them or can I just use something else ...... http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/sea/...&cd=1&x=7&y=12 Stuart ============= I think you'll need fibre washers for these fittings. Buy a mixed pack from Wickes, B&Q etc. Cic. |

One does and one doesn't need washers. The ones that do are essentially the same as tap connectors for a basin (say), but bigger. The ones that don't make their seal by mating a conical part of the copper tube with the inside rim of the cylinder fitting. Unfortunately the photo does not shower which type it is. -- Ed Sirett - Property maintainer and registered gas fitter.
