The pipe and the entire brass fittings shouldn’t stress at all, should they? I am intrigued what does pulling the lever has got to do with those fracture ?
That pipe fitting is also unusual. I do not know and wonder why does it require so many joins. Was it to address the permanent glue problem Jake and I faced in the case of the elbows? Please look at our model. It’s a simple connection, although I suspect our models may suffer the same fate of the elbow! 😁
@Cuprajake Yeah! Those T’s and Elbows can be another Custom Italian makes. 😅
boshk Sorry to hear this mate. Please contact ACS. You might need parts from them. Dave might know if they are not commonly found outside Italy. When was the last time you opened the top and examined the internals.
