How do I stop a leak from a new valve that supplies water to my washing machine?

I replaced the old rusted hot and cold water shut off valves that supply water to my washing machine. Even after applying pipe thread compound AND tightening everything well, there's still a small drip from the hot water valve where it meets the nipple pipe. How do I stop this?

There's either another bit of tightening to be done or you've got too much thread tape on the nipple...you shouldn't use more than 3 wraps.





My guess there's a bit more tightening you can do.








Good luck...

Take it back off, clean the male and female threads, re-apply plumbers tape to the male threads in a clock wise direction 4 wraps each, tightly.
did you remember to replace the washer inside the hose.
I vote for the washer.
