Tiny Weep from tap connector

[helptavner]

Plumber fitted some taps for us, all ok apart from one of the cold connectors (soldered fitting) weeps a tiny bit after use,

I tightened it up which helped but still a tiny bit
so i tightend it a bit more, no i have just a really tiny weep.

any thoughts please. tighten a bit more??

ive only just nipped it up each time?

Fit a new fibre washer to the tap connector, and the job's done...a smear of sealant can't do any harm either.

you dont think try nipping it up a little more?

can you nip these up to much?

 

[Burnerman]

You can try nipping them up - sometimes you get away with it, other times not.
The fibre washers disintegrate and delaminate with age, and nipping them can make things worse....a new one sorts things every time.

can you tighten them up to much ?? on a new washer

Sure - the fibre washer works by being compressible, so nip the connector up firmly.....don't swing on the spanner.
