Fixing the leaking faucet connection
· 2 min read
I previously used the incorrect faucet connection, which resulted in a not-perfect seal and a very tiny leak when the water was turned on. It's really tough to find a hose barb to 1/2 NPS connection - key letter being the "S" in NPS, which means straight thread. There's lots of connectors for NPT, which is tapered, but faucets use straight threads (sealed by a rubber gasket / washer).
