I am being told the fitting failed by the company that installed my solar hot water heater. A leak was discovered less than three months after installation and it appears they wrapped it with X-treme Tape Silicone Rubber Self Fusing tape. Fast forward a year later and my kitchen ceiling collapsed. They put this on the pipe coming in from the collector (Not sure if that is pertinent). I was told off the record by the plumber they sent to replace the solar water heater with a hybrid that they should not have used this fitting so it was human error, not a manufacturing defect. Would like to hear others’ opinions.
The picture shows the fitting after most of the tape was removed. Thank you in advance.
