Hi, I installed a Delta R10000 PXWS and just found out that the hot side valve stop failed the pressure test badly. With the stop closed, it leaks out of the threads. Everything is tight.
I never soldered any part of this valve and I installed the valve stops according to the instructions. I installed them both the same and the cold side is fine, so I'm pretty sure I did it right. Is this a problem that is known to happen?

My question is - is this fixable with teflon tape or pipe dope? The valve stops use straight threads and seal with O-rings which means that teflon tape and pipe dope should not be needed, but I'm trying to avoid replacing the whole valve. I can't find replacement parts anywhere.
