The wife brought home a wall mount faucet that she wants me to use for our bathroom remodel. I dry fit the trim to the rough-in valve, to make sure I install the valve at the proper depth in the wall. While assembling it, I noticed that the spout threads are not tapered, and it does not get tight in any way, until bottomed in the valve.
There is no washer, gasket, o ring, or any type of seal there. The instructions say "You may choose to use pipe tape."
There is a fairly hefty wall plate, which the spout tightens up against, when threaded about about halfway in.
To me, this seems like a sure leak - will teflon tape actually seal this?
