So my Sparge Tank is leaking again. I use 2 10 gallon igloo water coolers for mashing/fly sparging with 1/2" stainless ball valves. The leak comes from the water following the threads on the inside of the nipple (not sure if correct terminology) that connects to the valve. I've used pipe tape on the threads to stop it in the past. And that works, for awhile, until it gets bumped, or if i decide to unscrew the hex nut for some reason or another.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a better way to stop the leaks?
