I just installed a toilet after putting in a new tile floor. Everything is good but I can't get rid of a leak at the 3/8" compression fitting for the water supply. The leak is between the tubing and ferrule, or ferrule and nut. The threads to the water valve are not leaking.
I did egg the tubing a little when I was bending it to fit, but I figured the compression ferrule would squish everything together. Seems like that isn't happening.
How tight should I tighten this little 3/8" nut? I've already tightened pretty tight, don't want to bust the threads on the water valve. The leak is not spraying, it's weeping or seeping.
Thanks for any advice on this.
