Pocster Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 These arrived today . Why is the shaft near the end ( go away @Onoff ) different? . Is it just so you can identify hot from cold ?
SteamyTea Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 So you can get a spanner on it. Short one first, then the long one. Spanner.

Onoff Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Shouldn't need a spanner. Finger tight. Only need a spanner for the long nut on the bolt that comes down. 1

Nickfromwales Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Jesus. There's a special place in hell for you lot Just over hand tight, and don't go mad. It's the rubber seal that stops water leaking, the threads just keep the rubber seal where it needs to be. And, deep breath, a bit of lube will stop the rubber getting FUBAR'd. 1

But look at @SteamyTea ‘s claw . Cornish evolution about 10 million years behind the rest of us . I asked my mate ‘ elephant man Eddie ‘ his exact response was ( ignoring the slurring and spitting ) “ What (expletive deleted) rong wiv Im - de generate , fossilised, extinct , Clotted cream loving Cornish slur on human evolution “ . That’s not easy for Eddie to say !! ( or type ) Edited January 31, 2021 by pocster

Good to hear this, I went down a rabbit hole yesterday with a kitchen tap, absolutely impossible to get to tighten the flexi-tails with a spanner, even with the tap stripped to its barest form on the bench, the flats were in-accessible, after some head scratching and rationalisation I came to the conclusion the O-ring would seal whatever the applied force and reasoned hand tightening would be good enough. Good to have it clarified though.

Good to have it clarified though. Yup. That’s why they have very fine pitched threads, so lots of bite for very little torque. 1
