To gasket comes off with the connection

Shared his thoughts on Thread and gaskets. Especially liner tries to come off, fail, when the mixer is screwed on the bathroom or eccentric sleeves when installed water meters.

Here's a photo from the top sleeves in the water meter best think number one, because there Rout ledge, which creates a seat for the gasket.

Therefore, if you think about changing the meter and the old connector with the tab, it's best to leave it.

Laying enjoys wide squares fit and loves the landing place for it, but does not tolerate misalignment and sharp edges in places fit.

I think the ideal is made seat on the nozzle flexible connection, this design allows virtually tie the nut by hand and not get leaks, see photo below.

Here and seat pad and the size accurately (with difficulty snimesh), but the flexible connection basically nonsense, already written and will leave the link below.

But in the photo above unions and an example of how the falls in them laying with misalignment or thin edges fit. These unions have not the worst, if the seat is usually bad, curved or pointed, then I take a flat file and I earn to acceptable.

These are the thoughts and advice, please share your reflections on this subject.
