Water spraying out of inlet pipe.

Have just replaced the 9.5 v heater can in my T300si Remote. This was a fiddly but fairly straightforward job. However, when I turned the shower on to test it water sprayed out of the inlet pipe - the pipe that goes into the heating element can. Some did actually make it through to the shower head, but most of it went all over my bathroom floor.

Can't seem able to tighten the connection and have replaced and set up the heating element assembly exactly in the same way as the old one. Is there a washer/clamp I should have used?

Plumbers in short supply near me which is why I did this job myself and am gutted I've not got it right. Any advice gratefully received doctor.

The pipe between the inlet valve and the tank have to enter each other absolutely square for this to stay sealed.

A tip ....Slip the ‘O’ ring from the old tank on to the spigot of the new one (If it is the type where the spigot is long enough to take two ‘O’ rings) this helps to keep the assembly straight.
