Has anyone fixed a crack in a compression fitting (wall plate elbow 1/2'' x15mm) by using Epoxy Putty???
Came across bar mixer shower that was pouring water through downstairs flat.
After removing shower and shrouds, i thought '' Holy Mary , the leak must be further up the wall'' behind the brand new wall boards. Oooops
BUT...............
I isolated pipes , turned mains back on and heard a hissing then the drip drip drip of the leak. Turns out that the screwthread on the offset fittings has split in it. Approx 1/4''long.
Only thing is there is no access to cut it out, i,ve enlarged the hole just big enougth so the shroud will cover it back up, when sorted.!
Has anyone used EPOXY PUTTY?
I've used it, but not for this application before
Or is there anything else on the market? Brazing rod???
Thanks
