| around the threads. Tightened them up...still leaks. New washers...still leaks. Then I discovered something...the threads are tapered! This is a pipe thread configuration thet doesn't use washers. After a quick call to my local Guzziphile to confirm this, I reinstalled |
| petcocks without the washers. Whatdya know...no leaks! I wish I had known this a long time ago...maybe it's common knowledge, but it's a new discovery for me. So, for anyone out there suffering throught the same problem that I have, that's how ya fix it! Now my inner seals in them will probably go bad... Cheers!
