Can't get a spigot to stop leaking under the house. Here is the set up it has. New spigot. New brass coupling (or copper). Original water line.
The water line is grey, plastic, and some what flexible with a fitting on the end, like a giant nut. No O ring. Surely you know the type of line and end I mean.
This screws onto the new brass coupling. Wrapped 3 to 4 times in new teflon tape on both ends.
Which then screws into the water spigot.
I have done it three times. Tried new brass couplings both times just to be sure. Tried wrapping the teflon tape 2 to 3 wraps and 3 to 3 wraps.
But all three times I turn the water on it leaks at both ends where thr coupling screws in.
The only factor I know is the coupling shoulf not be brass. Please let me know. I have tried making sure I get it plenty tight. Maybe I need to get it tighter. Also don't want to break it though.
Any help is appreciated. If my explanation doesn't make sense I can take a picture or draw it out. I would take one now but not at her house. Thank you.
