Stopping an under sink water heater leaking

[Dallypro]

Hi All

I have installed (quite a few times now!) a Redring MS6 water heater under a sink, however now matter how hard I try, I can not get the damn thing to stop weeping water.

The leaks occur on the plastic threaded joint between the unit itself and the dielectric connector, however I have had also had some problems on the male side of the dielectric connector where its joined to a female compression coupler.

I'm down to a drip every minute or so, which is the best its been so far, but its driving me mad.

I've tried PTFE tape, jointing compound, and a combination of the 2!

Currently the plastic-plastic connection in where the leak is, and the metal/plastic connections are dry.

This does however change ever time I take it apart to try and stop it!

Any advice/guidance on how I can get it sorted once and for all would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Hi Ray

Thanks for the reply. I tried what you suggested and it worked first time without any problems!

New tool box essential!
