Drip leak

[asand211]

I have a drip leak with this fitting. I used teflon tape to start with and that dripped. The guy at Home Depot told me to use T plus 2 and that would stop it but it didn’t on one of the fittings. What should I try next? Did I choose the incorrect fittings for this? It’s for a shop sink in the garage. Thanks in advance.

Two wraps of properly applied teflon tape then a light coat of pipe dope. Good and snug with appropriate sized tools, 8” crescents or even 10” channellock pliers

Thank you! I haven’t tried them together. Should I use the same pipe dope I have already purchased or something else?

I've used that Rectumseal stuff in the past and it works very well. Some of my wife's cooking works like that as well.

What you have is what I use professionally.
