Hi all,
I've been searching but unable to find an answer. I connected a new outside hose-bib yesterday. All the joints I soldered are fine, but where the brass bib threads to the copper it is leaking. I only used pipe dope.
Should I have used teflon tape instead, or both? Can someone who knows, please post a general guide on which compound to use with threaded pvc-pvc, pvc-copper, etc?
Thanks in advance!
Dave
