Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the hose pipe fitting. Some mention that the fitting was barely tightened at the factory, the supply line is not tight against the body, and the black nut did not feel tight. They also say that the cannister is too small to get the job done, the rubber washer inside the plastic coupler is too little, and it is not sized for a typical connection. Overall, some customers feel the quality of the compression fitting is low and it leaks.

What to do if leaking at ballcock thread.  Works great after fix!

What to do if leaking at ballcock thread. Works great after fix!
I needed this to work badly. It leaked at the plastic nut even after using teflon tape on the toilet ballcock thread and tightening by wrench. Returned and got another, same thing happening. No water hammer but water leaked down the side of the arrester. Took the arrester off, installed the supply line, no leak but water hammer present. I read other reviews and bought o-rings and new cone washers thinking the seal wasn't good enough but it still leaked.I accidentally over tightened once so much I spun the arrestor a bit and saw a thread under the plastic nut. I discovered that there was threaded screw component the cone washer was sitting on and it wasn't completely tighten into the unit. I added some teflon tape and screwed it tight using a flat head screwdriver large enough catch the hexagon shaped hole. No more leaks and no more water hammer. Hope this helps someone, took me 4 days of trial and error to figure it out.
