Split Join.

I had to get the council to replies the water meter for this one. The water was not shutting off, as fast as I was digging a hole it was filling up.

Once the water meter had been replaced, I was able to expose the problem. The plastic connection onto brass had split. I replaced the plastic connection with a male thread onto a brass socket, this way it’s less likely to be affected by the different expansion and contraction rates. Metal expands and contracts a lot slower than plastic and is likely what caused the plastic join to fail. I also wrapped the brass with Denzo tape. This tape protects the brass from the effects of corrosion when buried.

If you have any signs of water leaks around your property, give me a call. Meeting your plumbing needs.
