“These are easy to use. They are flexible and only take a wrench with not that much pressure to tighten to where they don’t leak. The water pressure that comes out of these is impressive and much better than the old ones I replaced. Overall, these worked well for my new faucet install.”
“I have not found a better stringer, but a mid-production change has caused a problem. The 1/2" compression nut was made 1/8" thinner, causing a problem starting the thread up with many higher-end faucets. Modification of the faucet or the stringer seal will be necessary. I have alerted Brasscraft to this issue.”
