Is that how plumbing is done? I've been doing it wrong all these years!

That'll be why my plumber has so many leaks - I'll tell him PTFE is the secret trick, failing that a bit of electrical tape should do it.

PTFE on the olive does work actually lol! I wouldn't usually do it off the bat, but if a compression fitting leaks, and they do from time to time, wrapping the olive stops it. 😉

That's why I said it Beanz, I thought my plumber was Welsh, he's got that many 'leeks' :santa_wink:
 
That poor guy, he was probably thinking he was doing a really good job taking his time checking they went down level, cleaning up etc. His so called instructor was probably telling him he was doing it right which is the real problem I reckon:yikes:

MMM how does the written instruction read ? " Comb adhesive onto floor, care fully lay tile on top ensuring not to much pressure applied so as to leave as many air pockets as possible" !!!! Crazy:mad2:
