Just installed a new Moen "Adler" bath lavatory faucet and drain assembly. Faucet is fine. Everything good but getting drips from under sink bowl. Used plumbers putty under flange between it and sink. Underside has thick rubber washer/gasket that seems almost threaded as I had to rotate it to get it up to underside of bowl. A plastic washer followed then the plastic threaded nut.
Can't figure it out. It's a cast marbelite bowl. I tightened it more to no avail. Could I be tightening it too much. Should it be tightened finger tight then just a bit more with channel locks? Maybe washer is not all way up due to difficulty of "threading" it to get it up to bowl. Use plumbers grease? Is plumbers putty correct sealer or should I use silicon and let it set, but then tightening the nut would surely break the seal. All plumbers putty seems to be squishing out after tightening. Any ideas??? It's drivimg me nuts!! Thanks guys...
