Hey all,
I recently did a Reno in my laundry room and my father did the plumbing for the new sink and for the washing machine lines. Everything went smooth. The one thing that there was an issue with was that the shut off valve going to the washing machine was leaking a little bit from the thread connection. He applied Thread sealing tape and it then stopped dripping . Does this look like it was done correctly ? Should the thread tape have been used in the first place since it’s all brand new anyways ? There is another shut off Value connected to this anyways from the supply coming out of the ground just incase we need to shut it off completely so I’m not too concerned but I wouldn’t want it to leak because I don’t have a drain and can’t fit a drain if there ever was a leak. Any help would be appreciated ! Thanks
