Re: Poor plumbing fittings?

message from John Stumbles on 9 May 2004
The inside chamfer on the tap threads is pretty standard. It looks as if you
should be able to use a compression fitting with it: I don't know if that's
the intention, but I have seen that done occasionally with float valves
which have a similar chamfer. For taps I generally use Speedfit tap
connectors with rubber washers so can't speak for the traditional tap
connectors with red fibre washers, but I'd expect them to mate
satisfactorily with no leaks.

Realising that plumbing is next to agricultural engineering in precision
(not!) :-)
