Ok perhaps I'm an idiot here, but I'm a novice and...picture a standard shut off faucet for a washing machine. You attach the washer hose to the end of this faucet. Say I remove this hose and want to attach a 3/4 inch brass tee instead. I've got the Tee and it threads on nice and smooth, lots of pipe dope, very tight..but after 3 or 4 minutes it starts this slow drip. Is this connection not possible? Do I need an intermediate piece here? The Tee is because im connecting the washer hose to one split and tapping out a water line for an ice maker on the other. Everthing is nice and tight and working perfectly except where I have this Tee attached to the faucet. Thanks.
