Hello all -
I just put a new tub in our bathroom. The waste shoe continues to leak from where the shoe connects to the tee. The threads on the tee and nut are very fine - cannot use a pvc nut. Went to Home Depot, Ace and ******* and nobody has seen this 1 1/2 fine threaded nut/connector before. I have replaced the rubber O ring twice and it still leaks. I cannot use a PVC ring/gasket because it sticks out too far from the nut/connector and I'm unable to thread it to the tee. The tee is not cracked, and the shoe sits level.
Am I tightening this connection too much?
Is it really that tricky to get a waste shoe set properly, I have never had this problem with say, P trap connections on sinks. What gives? This is driving me nuts!
Any insight is appreciated!
Regards,
Jack
