I have a 1" Anti siphon value that I just installed and it's leaking at the threads when the value is shut off. About 1 drop every 10 seconds..
- When I put on the 1" adaptor, I did place one layer of teflon tape. Is one layer okay?
- I made it hand tight and then used a wrench to screw it in a few turns. Is that bad?
- When turning with the wrench, I didn't continue all the way and probably could have made a few more turns with some effort. Should I have tried to screw on tighter?
- Is there a way to fix the leak without cutting off the value again and start from scratch?
TIA
