Cant get rid off tiny leak. Ordered some liquid teflon hopefully it will help. I intalled the "blue" version of this valve without any issues and no leaks.Update: teflon tape with liquid teflon fixed the issue. Still 3 stars for the design. I shoudnt have to have any leaks in the first placeIf your completing a fresh install I would never use this design of shutoff valves. They need to be replaced ever few years and this design makes replacement very difficult. Usually, if you use this design in new construction, within a few years your going to need to cut open the wall and install an access panel for future replacements.Very easy to install. No leaks.It works like it should.Well made. The installation was a breeze. The thread looked good and no leaks and working well so far. Would buy again.Great replacement valve for washing machine. Good quality and only requires a light touch to operate.Good product, sturdy.
