Hey everyone,
I just received 4 new 525SS faucets and stainless steel shanks. When I installed them, I really had to tighten the collar nut (don't know if that's the right term)... I mean, put nearly all my strength into tightening it so it wouldn't leak. One would leak no matter what. So I called the store that I got them from, and they happily got me a new shank and faucet which arrived about a week later. When I went to install the new faucet and shank, I was surprised by how easy it was to get the faucet on the shank, and I didn't need to tighten the collar nearly as much to get a leak free connection. Now I'm concerned about the the other three faucets.
What is everyones experience with Perlick faucets? Is it normal to have to really crank down on these things to get a leak free connection?
Thanks!
