The washer seems to have settled in (maybe) and the leaking has dropped to a very minimal amount.
Anyway, sorry but I can't find how to leave positive feedback. Aim me and I'll do that.

That just made the connection to the meter on the left, spray water. I am starting to think the connector is defective, though I can't understand how that would make a difference. I got a new...

If you are asking if I can move the meter itself, right now I can, but I have had it so tight that it would not move at all and still it dripped.

This is so aggravating. The soldering which everyone warned me about was a snap. One screw fitting and it has been a 3 days affair. I straightened out the angle on the pipes. I replaced the...

Actually the angle of the pipe leading to the meter is right. It is the down pipe, leading to the elbow, that is not correct. The distance from the elbow to the meter is usually only the length of...

OK, nobody had a 3/4 with sweat fitting to a 1/2 female threaded brass elbow, which is what was on there before, so I was sold an adapter and a 3/4 inch elbow. That put the down pipe out a tiny bit...

It is just the same type of connection as there is outside when connecting a hose to the house faucet. Just this is pipe to pipe vs pipe to hose. Are you saying that a tiny misalignment is causing...

The connection going from my water meter into my regular water pipe is leaking. It is a threaded and collared connection and it uses a washer. It is new as I had to replace the pipes and pressure...

I'll try more tape as you suggest. Nothing is split and I see no burrs.

OK, since the wall was open, the pipe cut, and I had the plastic elbow, I decided to try it and if it leaked I could replace it. I'll leave the wall open for a week or two just to be sure. That...

I appreciate all of the responses. I was a programmer for 20 years. I spent day after day digging out the solutions to problems. IN the end it was often simpler if I had just reloaded the machine...

So I am getting the dark picture and will be going beyond what my logic /handyman skills are used to. First, may it be possible to just retap the pipe? That would recut the threads and clean out...

I tried one of those (reverse threads) but it was too small or too large. It did go all of the way in though.
I think I am headed to hole in wall and cutting the pipe. I can see no distinction...

Thank you for the help. I will give those ideas a try but it almost seems that I am down to the pipe threads on the inside. Also, I tried EZ-out at HD, but they didn't have it. I'll have to go to...

I have read all of the answers to this I can find on the net, but none works or refers to my instance. The chrome shower lead broke off right at the pipe which is about 3 inches into the wall. I...
