First floor

That’s it now as right as I can get it with reasonable sized spanner’s. It’s came to a hard stop. The olive still can slide off the pipe when I reopen the joint to check. This is expected with brass? So won’t blow off on me? Thanks

No it’s osb decked. It’s all in press fit. If that makes any difference? I haven’t noticed any leaks yet or random booster pump cycling.

I tried that I got it as tight as I can get it. by god it was hard to do for some reason. It’s not leaking at the moment. Just seems alien to me that the olive isint compressed into the pipe. yes the pipe work did spin under the floor multiple times believe it or not when I was trying to tighten the nut. I assume this is bad?

I think I’m too dumb for those instructions haha can you dumb that down a bit

Is the black plastic ring on the press fitting supposed to have movement on it ? have I messed it up now? 😣

When I do that and tighten nut, once I put force on it the pipe starts turning under the floor 😩

Where should I be putting the spanner to stop everything rotating on this? Thanks

I’m really struggling to tighten it up. I’m lucky to even get a quarter turn on it. the original olive was brass. I put it back on and tightened as much as I can. so is it normal to tighten this and then if I were to undo it the olive would be able to slide off easily?

Tried changing this today the brass olive wasn’t even compressed it slid off. I can’t for the life of get a copper or brass to compress properly on the brass stub

Brilliant. Now I can sleep tonight. Haha Thanks mate

Perfect, I’ll not get it done until Monday can’t get any fittings around here until then. Is it safe to leave the flexi as it is until then? Would you say it’s unlikely to burst. It’s actually less than a year old. thanks Nick your a godsend on here

Any idea what type of hose I need? The nut says it’s 21mm on it thanks Nick

It’s full bore yes. can I reuse the olive on this brass section coming from press fit? Also I’m struggling to find the right hose

It’s gravity fed with a booster pump. I used one of those basin wrenches but I think I may have caught the pipe a few times with it? Not really sure how it happened to be honest. should I replace it straight away? Could it burst while out of the house job? Thanks Nick
