Hi,
i have just replaced my bath water mixer. Unfortunately i cannot stop water leaking out of both hot and cold water nuts where the copper pipes connect to the mixer inputs.
I have tried using special wrenches, PTFE tape and silicone sealant, but to no avail :(
what can i do to stop the leak? the space behind the bath is really tight making the use of a conventional wrench impossible. would the use of Speedfit/B&Q plumbeasy system plus a 22m coupler do the trick? or shall i just put in more oil seals and connect the mixer to the existing copper pipes?
Have you had a chance to have a look at the DIY Projects area at all: https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects.htm There are quite a few projects related to your problem that may help you out.
yes i did - but i could not locate one that specifically tackles my problem. i did read the project called "How to fit a bathroom" but i found it a bit too generic.
if you can tell me which projects to look at, that will be great.
