Mira 415 BIV
I've just installed one of these showers, and I've got a small leak which I
cannot easily solve. Has anyone had this fault before? The leak is on the wall outlet plate, where the incomming brass feed pipe, feeds into an outlet chamber. The chamber is fitted with on o-ring seal, but the water still seems to get past. Any ideas? |

The o-ring is fine, and everything is locked together OK. I thought it
might be an o-ring, so I'll just replace it anyway. "Christian McArdle" wrote in message t... The leak is on the wall outlet plate, where the incomming brass feed pipe, feeds into an outlet chamber.

It was the o-ring. replaced it and the leak has stopped.
