Hi
I've just replaced the ball float valve in my side entry toilet cistern but when I've reconnected it there is a leak where the tap connector meets the plastic thread. I'm not sure why. Could it be just that the connector isn't quite straight to the plastic thread of the float valve or does it need a rubber washer inside? I have been careful not to tighten it too much so as to strip the thread? I presume that the actual tap connector can't be damaged?
Thanks for any advice
