I bought a single handle wall mounted faucet for a new bathroom addition. The inlets on the mixer are female. I hooked them up to pex tubing with NPT 1/2" male threaded to 1/2" pex crimp fittings. The threads were treated with pipe dope (Rector Seal #5).
The system is now leaking from the threaded connections. I think the male fittings may be bottoming out in the mixer body threads before establishing a seal.
Am I using the wrong kind of fittings?
Thanks for any input.
