I have problem with leak at water supply connection, brass connecting with plastic. Similar problem?

I had no problem. Don't know if you had bad fitting or simply over tightened. I had normal supply tube fittings on my toilet.

Make sure your rubber washers are in the connectors, and you may have to use some Teflon tape as well.

Yeah. I had to get some of the plumbing joint compound and that worked. But it took a few times.

I had a similar problem, but it was due to my cross-threading the water supply hose. I was very careful, and it appeared to be threading straight, but it was not. I changed the water supply hose (plastic) to a new one, and the problem was solved. It was user error and not due to product.

I just recently noticed in having the same problem. I suppose I'm going to need to contact customer service or just get in there and see if it needs some pipe dope.

Sorry but I am not experiencing this issue. I am not at home to check but I believe that the hose I am using has one end with a metal fitting for connecting to the water valve at the wall and the end that connect to the Brondell is plastic. It has been a while but I think this hose came with the unit. Sorry I can not be of more help but I can check when I get home next weekend.

Replace the entire unit; at least, that's what the folks at InSinkErator told me. The unit I had did not feature a replaceable connection at the top which is where it leaked.....

Place a zip tie around the hose and the connector and tighten it down to stop the leaks. Be sure the hose is all the way on before using the zip tie.

If it is falling off the connector, I cannot help, but if the connector is falling off the faucet, the threads in the faucet spout are probably worn with age and the only solution is to replace the spout or whole faucet. I have had no problems with the connection of the filter to the adapter.

Hi, I dont know really. This sounds more like the connection. Make sure all the screws fit properly. Or the plumbings get connected well/tight? Wish you all the best.

How has it been installed. Mine leaked there until I run the system. There are 3 check valves that open with a screwdriver. Try bleeding them and see if it fixes your problem

I have 2 of these and no leak issues with either. Where is it leaking? If you are sure it's a seal issue, return and get a new one.

Same as Mark. Brass quick disconnects suck balls, somehow these plastic ones are better. Good plastic and good tolerance I guess, versus cheap seals and poor-tolerance brass construction.

I have had mine for almost 6 months without a drop of leaking. Perhaps try reassembling it.

Mine leaks too, no matter what I do and it's brand new. It doesn't leak at the hose, but between the plastic connectors.

Yes, there is a problem. The internal valve has a tendency to stick within the first two weeks, impeding water flow. The only way to prevent this was to remove the valve completely, eliminating the handy feature of having a quick connect that doesn't require turning the water off to move the hose. The other issue is as others mentioned. The ones I bought were brass, but about one in 5 chronically leaked. If I had it to do over, I would not have purchased.

Connectors were brass. Unfortunately mine leaked and for my use in a finished basement a simple washer hose did the job.

Not quite sure your question. What I did was replaced the whole parts. In my case, the leaking was between the parts and the water tank. Actually, that happened more than 1 year already. I can check it tonight. Good luck.

Hello Vikas, firstly you need to determine the source of the leak. It is most likely from one of the connections. Try to isolate which one. If that is the case you can easily fix it yourself by checking each one and making sure that they are tight. If it is coming from the body of the unit then you should return it because that would mean that the product is defective. The instructions aren't great. I would gladly send you a picture of the unit already connected so that you could see it more easily but I don't think there is a way of attaching a picture to my answer. Best of luck.

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

The one I got was not a heavy duty brass valve, it was a black plastic cutoff valve but I have never had any problems with it leaking or shutting off

Good quality Brass, but the brass spigot screws into the plastic barrel,just don't over-tight the spigot and you'll be fine..also thread sealer will keep it from leaking forever...
