- hi,
- I installed a Hudson reed thermostatic shower valve and I am having issues with it leaking. See attached photos. The fitting that goes into the valve is 3/4 BSP. This is a straight thread fitting and therefore has a rubber o-ring to make the seal.
- When I apply full pressure to the valve the o-rings pop out. The fitting that was supplied in the box does not have enough surface to grab the o-ring and hold it tight.
- I contacted Hudson reed and there response was to use Teflon tape. That did not work. These are straight threads not tapered threads.
- I need help. Does anyone know where I can get a 3/4 BSP to NPT brass adapter that will seal tight to this valve.
- The fitting in question is 3/4 BSP to 1/2 NPT brass adapter.
