Well, I ripped out the reducing valve, per my posts, and got it together and the male extension that threads into the valve is leaking slightly. What a pain. I have to cut the piping and resweat some copper. I used a Hercules product. I usually use a combination of Teflon tape and Slik-Tite. I believed the hype about the Hercules pipe dope with kevlar! Any suggestions to get a water tight seal when screwing a copper thread into brass. What do you guys use, do? Only thing I can think of is that I did not stir up the dope enough prior to using. Maybe it was too thin?
