Pocster Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Tested the main bathroom shower . Was going to say zero leaks then noticed a patch underground ( tiger seal on order ) . Rainfall shower head seems leak free ( have the back wall exposed so can be certain ) . Notice the stupid nano size grub screw drips though !! . This common on this type of fitting ?? . I can live with it !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 That means the o-rings are not in place properly inside as that shouldn’t leak from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the ‘arm ‘ for the shower head isn’t on far enough ? I.e tight enough to the fitting ... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Your ring isn't tight enough... If the sticky out bit that the arm slides over is too short you MIGHT get away with a good slug of Jet Blue Plus at the interface. Should the grub screw engage in a groove?

My rings always tight - you know that . I think from memory there is a grove . I can only access from the rear ( how many times have I said that ) . So might cut the supply hep20 . Then I’m free to move / bodge / professionally alter the fixing to suit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Finally ! Taken all morning to fiddle with shower fitting , packing , plumbing . At last a leak free grub screw ! Quite how you are meant to get that mm accurate from the front (I.e before tiling ) seems impossible too me !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspired by my “skill “ I decided to take the back of the wall off where the shower hose elbow is . It’s to far forward by maybe 3 mm . Mission Abort !!! For reasons I’ll never know I had screwed pipes and clips to that board . So impossible to get off !! Quickly put back on wall and screwed in . I’ll live with 3mm error - was going to silicone it anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
