This month's question is about the John Guest push fit connectors.
Around the van we use the standard 12mm black connectors.
But going in to the pump is a white 12mm push fit connector BUT it has "wings" on it.
Pictures
attached.
Does anyone know why it looks like this and if it is safe to replace it with just a normal connector?
We've got a leak between the white connector, the light green insert and the blue pipe which has the jubilee clip on it. So any suggestions would be helpful.

The ones that are shown look like they're made to be easily removed, I'd remove it and see why its leaking
Thank you Paul, we've taken it apart but can't see a reason for the leak - we think perhaps it's because it wasn't a perfect fit so the husband has cut the 15mm pipe and reconnected.
The main question here though is WHY the white connector is different??
It looks like a Whale one, similar to this. but I'm sure others will do fine.
