Had one leak in my new home in attic 3 years ago

I'd be pissed if they were in a new home.


When these do leak I do wonder about how much care was taken when they were installed. I believe they seal to the outside of the pipe with an o-ring. If the outside of the pipe is rough or scratched it may be the cause of a leak. I've seen where people dgaf and just shove them on no matter how nasty the pipe is.
