I need to replace at a tap with these fittings:
I have replaced similar taps in the past but it never quite goes to plan...
I had a few questions please:
- I always end up kinking the hose when I am tightening it onto the isolator valve. How can this be avoided?
- Should I use a water compound or any lubricant on this joint? I know it comes with a rubber washer which is the primary method of providing a seal
- How tight does this join need to be?
- Finally, where can I purchase some of these replacement rubber washers as I would like to carry a few with me. To replace all the joins I have over tightened in recent times!
Thanks in advance.
