Hello,
I am trying to install two new faucets for a "double sink" counter. This requires using a "T", so I can split the water outlet to each of the faucets. (I've attached a picture so you can see...)
So I purchased a threaded copper "T" and then connected everything. I used lots of teflon tape, and made sure I wrapped the teflon so the wrap goes "with" the screwing in of the male connector into the female of the "T".
The problem is that no matter how tight I wrench the connectors to the "T"... it still leaks a tiny little bit. (Only a few drops per day...)
I've taken it all apart and replaced the teflon and retightened everything twice, yet it still leaks just a little bit.
What should I do? Do I just need to use more teflon tape? (I used maybe five "wrap-arounds" for each connector.)
Or should I use plumbers glue for the connectors? Or silicon on the connector threads? Sure, I won't be able to ever take off the connectors.. but that's not a problem since this setup isn't going to be going anywhere once it's leak-free.
Thanks for any help!
