No. The noticeable line is not a crack. This you can test by trying to open the crack. If you are unable to open it up by pulling on the part then that is knit-line which is an intrinsic part of the injection-molding process. A knit-line will not impact the integrity of the pipe fitting.

    Lines in your pipe fittings are not necessarily cracks. Try to open them with your fingers. If you can’t, these lines are knit-lines, and are meant to be there.
