You'd need to type suitable for gas and not water This might help if there are no other obvious signs of poorly connected fittings

Debería escribir un tipo adecuado para gas y no agua. Esto podría ayudar si no hay otros signos obvios de accesorios mal conectados [/citar] Muchas gracias, creo que otro sistema podría ser hacer espuma con jabón y ver si salen burbujas. [/citar] after 20 minutes I have lost my device only in red, I have not yet sealed my connections with tape, this is worrisome or very little lost,
