that is really helpful is this a plumbing forum or a comedy clubA bigger wrench and a stronger person.
Believe it or not, it is both. You may not have liked the delivery, but it was accurate.that is really helpful is this a plumbing forum or a comedy club
I used Teflon tape it went 180 degree passed then got some yellow gas pipe tape and wrapped it 4 times and it went 90 degree passed is 5/6 wraps to muchBelieve it or not, it is both. You may not have liked the delivery, but it was accurate.
If you really did max out, unscrew the tank tee, and use more tape next time. That would let the thread sit a half a turn less shallow, if that is what it needed.
I think hj presumed correctly that you are talking about a tank tee for a well here.
If you had gotten a tank tee with the union, you could have turned the manifold to whatever angle you wanted.
...it still won't make another complete turn.
If it were I, I would NOT use any "tape" on the threads. You asked "how to get the tee lined up" and I TOLD YOU HOW TO DO IT. I do not think I have EVER not been able to get things were I want them if I used the proper sized wrench and pulled harder.[/QUOTE HJ If you tighten pipe threads and they bottom out you cannot go any further ( right ) .If you back the tee out you will not get a proper seal ??
