DIYer here. Last week I did some plumbing work.
I connected pvc to copper using threaded fittings. I used teflon tape (3-4 wraps) on the threads. Tightened it done fairly tight and when I turned on the water there is a slight drip. There is no way I can tighten the fitting anymore without cutting the pvc and putting in a coupling after tightening.
Not something I really want to do as the pipe is against the concrete block in the basement and there isn't much room to work in.
Is there any other way to fix this drip?
Thanks
