I recently used some of these and used Loctite sealant on the olivesto ensure a seal. Out of 20 fittings 4 leaked and had to be tightenedup until creaking. Two where on plastic Speedfit pipe and the oliveswere wrapped in PTFE as per the Speedfit instructions. Previously Iused mainly Conex fittings and never once had a problem. Has anyoneelse had problems with these fittings? Are they cheap made in Chinarubbish? Anyone have any recommendations of what and not to use? Andwho to buy from and not to buy from.TIA.
