Currently have a problem with my new tap set-up, I basically have a leak on one of the joins.

From the pic (see crude diagram below if need be) I have a tank connector fitted through the pot, then a small length of copper (B) fitting this to the tap. The leak is where copper (B) meets with the tank connector.

I'm wondering whether there is a way to make this water tight (without soldering preferably). Note: I have tried using the spare nut from the top pic on the connector, with no success.

OR

At point (C), there is a small lip (see final pic below), I've read elsewhere that I can file this lip away and make copper (A) and (B) one solid length of copper.

Please advise me as to the best course of action.

Cheers for the help in advance!
