Hey guys, got a ball valve kit recently (basically like the one pictured) and its giving me grief trying to install the damn thing.
firstly the washer it came with seems too large. the hole in the washer is very large and loose on the nipple, it kinda wobbles about when you try to tighten the cylindrical coupler and looks off center. also the round coupler is a bitch to tighten and easily comes loose. No matter how tight I get it, the whole assembly is not very tight and easily moves.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm doing everything I've seen in various videos, but it ends up a wobbly mess.
where can I get a better more snug fitting washer and maybe a hexagonal (or whatever shape) coupler to tighten it a bit better?
Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated
p.s. had a look at bunnings but couldn't find a washer the right size
