Manufacturer Narrative
|
One stopcock was returned for review.The stopcock was examined and no cracks or defects were observed.The core/handle was observed to be seated into the base properly.The stopcock was leak tested under water at 15 psi and leakage was confirmed where the core/handle fits into the base.The most probable cause for the leaking stopcock was most likely due to a error in the molding process of either the core/handle and/or the body of the stopcock that formed a gap when the two components were assembled that resulted in the leakage.Argon will continue to monitor for issues of this nature in the future.
