  • Seems like a simple part to have failed.

    There probably are better brands vs some of the crap out there but you usually know when you have it in your hand. Quality of castings, threads etc.

    Plumbers generally have a way of making even the poor quality stuff watertight though so the market can sustain relatively low quality fittings. Especially since a lot of tradesmen will cut corners on these kind of items.

  • I just grabbed a plastic replacement from nearby shop. That and some PTFE tape should see me right. I've not pulled the current one apart so I don't know if it's the Y-piece, the o-ring or the threaded join that's failed. I will sacrifice the current part tonight.
