Hi I have a new water pipe and I noticed the brass stop tap didn't fit well on it. Any ideas why? I used a JS liner also.
 
what stop tap was it? assuming by brass it was a compression? best to use a copper insert, tighten up, remove and ptfe the olive a few wraps and refit.
 
I have to say I don't like the over priced plastic stop taps.

Far prefer a brass one with a copper olive on a tight insert.
