It won't leak again
Neil Summers Home Inspections




I came to a stop sign and a skanky tweaker chick in a tube top climbed out of the brush and propositioned me.  She looked like she didn't have any teeth so I counted that as a plus.

It has been my understanding that teflon tape is a thread lubricant only, not a sealant. One thing that you never do is tighten a fitting a little too far and then back it off a little to align it = leak.
Treat others as you want to be treated.

The union leak turned out to be a small leak in the valve body above the union. Replaced the valve now no problem with union. Thanks for the help.
