Product expansion and contraction that occurs when alternating running water temperature, is the primary cause of ‘spider-cracking’ around the drainage area. We recommend mixing the hot and cold running water. Other causes include exceeding recommended hot-water tank temperature (hot water should not exceed 140 degrees Farenheit), and over-tightening of drainage fixture.
