Default Stupid helper syndrome
Helper at the shop put this straight stop on and I noticed it was on crooked. I took it apart to straighten it out and this is what I found. Not to mention it wasn't very tight.

Is that pipe dope on it? A wrap of teflon tape is good to use on cpvc when you use the metal ferrules. I'd check the cold one too,ot might be the same way.

Yeah its dope. I checked to cold one it was fine. Well not fine it was dripping at the compression. So I had to tighten it down as well. But it was on all the way at least. Same guy took him more than 3 hours to do 3 w.c. flushometers today.

At least you caught it before any damage occurred. Hope you showed him the problem, and let him fix his mistake, that way they learn..

It's common practice to use brass ferrules on CPVC? I have never done that. I always go mip adapters.
