im pissed of struggling lately as suppliers said he's been giving me Yorkshire fibres as there supposed to be slightly oversized but they don't fit.
i used a seal from a John guest tap conn and this was perfect any ideas? Ta

Different fibre washers for different tap connectors?

Yeah, you are right, because at one time they seemed to fit all makes of tap connectors.

Too small? Give them a quick soak in some boiling water, this will soften them up.

Too big? You can't get the nut over them? Throw them away and use PTFE.

See toms video on how to make a PTFE grummet around your little finger for those awkward to get to tap connectors.

Tappy,
