Hey guys I'm in the middle of a ensuite renovation and found a leak in the cable drain at the elbow (ell) at the cable mechanism.
This only happened after I filled the tub and operated the cable drain with full head pressure.
I believe this is a faulty part as opposed to screwed up installation as the drain is dry and the water is coming out of the actual connection of the cable and plastic housing. WTF
Anyway below is a video clip of the leak... My brother in law suggested I dry the leak area with a hair dryer and apply GE 100% silicone around the leak area and see if that works. Don't know as this is brand new but it's going to be a pain to remove the drain and overflow pipe (but possible)
Thoughts?
