Hi,
IÂ’m making my first hard tube loop and during my initial leak test the loop failed at the point in the photo - the bottom of the L fell open an the water drained down onto the towels - it scared the crap out of me but not much harm done
I then took that part apart and sanded down the tube and put the connector on again with fresh O-ring as tight as possible - I just wonder why it happened and is this a bad design on my part and is that portion inherently risky? Any advice? Is it because itÂ’s hanging?
itÂ’s now been leak testing for an hour and seems ok
