I can see it enough to see that the leak is at the connection of the shower arm to the CPVC drop-ear elbow, deformed threads won't allow it to seal

the shower arm threads right in there just fine, it's just the bent threads in the CPVC drop-ear elbow won't allow it to seal

Threads are not completely stripped, but some are a little bent/dented, I have tried double gasket and tape, still no luck .Still leaks.... I have relatives due to arrive for the upcoming holiday, opening up the wall is out of the question at this time, I don't really care if I cement it in...

Ya, it's just one of those things you can't see when buying a house...... What will happen if i put some plumbers putty in there and let it dry real good?

It is a CPVC drop-ear elbow and the threads are a little damaged, is there a pipe compound or sealant that will seal againsg water pressure? Thanks

Ye Yes, the washer is in there, I bought a new drop ear elbow to get the new washer, the problem is "somebody" screwed the shower arm in wrong with some force and damaged the threads, a little. It's just enough so that it won't seal. I need some kind of sealant??? Thanks for your response.

I have a cvpc shower arm receptor in the wall that has slightly damaged threads and shower arm leaks at that point and I have tried plumbers tape numerous times, is there any other compound, glue or other means to get it to seal?
