New tub faucet leaking
New tub faucet leaking Every 1-5 min a very thin stream of water will release out of the spout. It’s not a constant drip and it’s over in like 2 seconds. Is this normal or did I install wrong. Steps I did: Remove old spout Clean old silicone out clean off copper pipe (female end short) install adapter that came with spout and tighten (but not overnight) with Allen wrench. Note: this was hard-ish to get on and I had to force it. use tape on threads of adapter that came with the spout, 3-4 times around. place rubber gasket hand tighten slip on diverter adapter to the adapter placed previously use tape on threads of slip on hand tighten spout into the slip on. silicone between spout and wall.
