Ive just fitted a mira excell unit into a wall using the standard compression fittings as suppied with the unit onto hep20 hipe(and inserts) all went ok, no leaks after flushing etc for an hour of two so I cemented in the pipes.
About 3 hours later I noticed both the hot and cold glands had small drips forming below them so i nipped them up slightly which seemed to increas the leak.
I took the glands apart and looked inside, all nice and clean etc and the olive seemed to be seated as far as it would go.
I put the glands back together and tightened the glands fairly tight, but Im affraid of over-tightening them in case I do harm.
What am i doing wrong?
Cheers.
