Hello folks, I'm a reasonably competent DIY plumber and am completely flumoxed by a persitently weeping wall plate.
I am installing a wall mounted shower mixer valve (Ideal Standard) and have used brass wallmounts. The shower fitting comes with a fitting to screw in (see picture). The thread on this is of a 'jagged' design I have not come across before.
Normally when dealing with a wall plate and screwing in a fitting, copious amounts of PTFE stops any weeps. I have tried this, even fibre washers stuffed in, but to no avail. I get an annoying weep when water pressure is restored. Am I missing something here?
Appreciate any help
Thanks
Chris
