I'm done, sort of. The intended result of good flow in the apartment shower was achieved. The tenant is very happy!
But there's a few leaks, all in the threaded connections. The 2 brass nipples between the tee and the PRV and the ball valve, and the copper adapter upstream from the ball valve all leak. Not much, a couple of drops per minute.
I don't know what to do now. I don't think I could get another full turn on the tee. I would also need to turn the ball valve a bit more, not sure if I can. I was afraid of this happening, because it seemed the threads on the nipples were too large. I couldn't get much engagement.
Should I get a pro in here? I am willing to attempt a fix myself, with a little more help from you guys. I just don't know.
