Installing a new faucet, pressure seems too high going from Flowtite piping into new

[rorytmeadows]

Hey everyone. Complete noobie when it comes to anything plumbing but I feel like this could be an easier fix and I'm just missing something simple. I've scoured the internet for days.

I bought a new faucet for the bathroom sink: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S5T5AR6/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Of course my newer home contains the Flowtite valves and tubing. I install it correctly, have to get a couple small connectors to get the one end onto the other that seemed to fit well.

After installing, turning the water back on results in what seems like too much pressure and it leaks from the Flowtite tubing (in the direction of the Flowtite tubing mostly). This even occurs when the faucet is fully open. I tried simple silicon tape wrapped pretty tightly, but it starts to bubble up.

Am I missing something easy? Thank you in advance.

wrap thread tape with the threads not against them
