RE: Replacing faucets on old boat

Tony, attached is our dry run with the polybutylene fitting attached to the stem of the new faucet.* This leaked.* Then we cut off the end of the polybutylene hose and compression fitting.* We attached the gator-bite to the faucet set (brass to brass with teflon) and then inserted the polybutylene hose in the other end of the gator-bite adaptor.* Neither the brass to brass snugged up completely, nor did the hose insert the full 15/16" as per the instructions.
