"If your like me, you will do this about 3 or 4 times till you get the damn water to stop leaking". Reminds me of last night, I decided to refit my cabin with ball valves, looked in my box, saw a roll of teflon tape and went ahead. 58 Miles away from my main house, taped 3 of 4 fittings, 3/4 male CPVC to the valve and Oops,no more tape. Doped it with pipe dope, tightened it as far as I felt safe, cemented the CPVC and turned on the water. That 1 last fitting dripped about 3 per minute. So, for the time being, I have an aluminum foil trough that runs into a 5 gallon bucket. I'm catching up, on 2nd try now! Brian
