Not if you have a property with lots of trees and you cut some down from time to time. I used to make a razor sharp chainsaw very dull quickly by cutting off roots with dirt and rocks on them....

I agree. I've installed a lot of pipe fittings and normally they don't leak so this sudden spate of drips is unusual. Could be as simple as a new person thinking that hand tightening the fitting...

I didn't but no worries. The measurements are easy and I measured and cut and all the pieces and they ended up being a friction fit. Just got lucky I guess. :) Almost thought, notice I said...
