Is it ok not to run the copper wire ?? Block is deck also. Reason why I ask because I started have bad luck with the o-ring leaking. It take a couple try's before it decide not to leak and I do take my time to make sure the copper wire is flush with eachother. Unless there's somthing that I've been doing wrong all along .
