fitted a set of my stainless bridge pipes today & one just would not seal!!!!
took then out & the ends of the unions were spreading and not pushing against the flange to seal it.....iv seen a set of alcon steel ones do this but not as bad....the stainless is a little more brittle but iv had plenty that were fine so far......probably just a one off, iv put a 'good as new new' alcon one in & is now fine...just.....the stainless one on my other caliper is fine as well....i think it is just a one off but with the threads starting to get old you can feel the unions and bleed nipples are having to work a little harder...
just keep an eye on them, especially if your re-using parts.....
