Our shower was leaking and we thought it might have been the grout as it was old, so we redid all of it and just now showered and found out that there still is a leak, but it's coming from the shower arm connected to the pipe inside the wall.
The shower arm is metal, the pipe in the wall is plastic - PEX (?)
How tight can I tighten the shower arm into the plastic pipe?
I've put plumbers tape around the arm threads (clockwise), and if I put too much tape the arm ends up stopping tight on the left side, so I wrapped less tape to have it stop in a downwards position like it should be, but it's leaking from there. I place toilet paper inside and ran the shower to see if there was a leak.
