Hi,
I have a non-compression angle stop I'd like to install. Most people use teflon tape and pipe dope to create a water-tight seal on the threads. But I'm wondering why can't we just place a rubber washer on the seat of the inlet to create this seal? Please see the attached photo.
We could just lay the washer on the seat and then attach the valve to the spout. Once the valve is tightened, there should be a water-tight seal between the spout and the valve, am I right? This way we don't have to worry about using the messy teflon tape and pipe dope. Please let me know if this will work.
Thanks!
