Highly recommend buying a set of box spanner’s to remove and re tighten the nut that holds the tap on 😂 will save you so much time and effort 👍

[@sionhughes5543]

I certainly will add those to my plumbing kit in due course

Good vid. The ptfe shouldn't be contributing to the seal though, it's due to a rubber washer inside the parts that came with the tap.

Ok thanks for that I didn’t know or should I say notice the rubber washers but You are completely correct . Thanks for the nice comment and please consider subscribing and checking out my channel . Quick question did watch the video all the way to the end where I showed my channel home page ?? Cheers Sion

@@sionhughes5543 Yeah I watched the whole thing. Some say ptfe can help "lubricate" the threads on compression fittings and get a tighter fit but I've no idea if that's true.

I even use it on an outside tape with plastic fitting and it seemed to help stop it dripping
