Involuntary shower (and why extra outlets on a manifold are useful)

[BotusBuild]

Went to turn on the H & C outlets for the ensuite shower this morning, and I and the plant room got an unasked for shower from the hot outlet (had to be the potentially dangerous one didn't it!).

 

The culprit was found to be a missing O ring (look carefully), compared to a known good one.

   

 

But, planning ahead years ago allowed me to divert the pipe to the known good outlet, making a complete mess of my layout !!!

 

Now wondering if I can get a replacement O ring for my OCD 😀

I will go against the forum trend, and say that's why I avoid push fit of any sort.

This is why JG Speedfit is banished for my jobs, unless it’s for wet testing.

Hep2o manifolds have never let me down.

My whole place is JG, (with collets), no problems so far but I guess it's early days. If I could go back I'd use Hep but it's too far down the line now.
