"Could you just fix the leak under the sink?"
It's the "just" bit that is so annoying. The problem is a platic pipe fitting with 2 tiny holes in it. It's on the boiling water tap so it probably didn't like the temperature.
I can remake it in brass but WTF is the thread :eek:
It's the same diameter as a 1/4" BSP but near as I can measure 22tpi.
If it isn't BSP of NPT or Threadform or 14mm ISO, WTF is it?
Anyone got a clue 'cause I haven't :whistling:
Tricky to tell from here without seeing / measuring, but I would have thought it was a BSP thread?
"It's the same diameter as a 1/4 BSP" - just one piece of advice (apologies if I'm teaching granny to suck eggs!) but 1/4"BSP, when measured, will measure closer to 1/2" - pipe fittings are different from standard screw threads in that regard, and it does confuse people.
It isn't those quick-fit fittings for flexible pipe by chance (used in some radiator circuits, and similar in apperance to plastic airlines)? Pictures would be useful if you can get some.
