I am (still!) installing a power shower and have reached the point where I have to connect to the pipe emerging from the top of the hot water storage tank. This pipe is painted with old paint which shows no signs of flaking. When I fit the compression T connection to this pipe should I first remove the paint or will it contribute to the compression seal? If it is better to remove the paint, what is the best way of doing this? Thanks to anyone who cares to reply.
