Simple Question - Alignment Of Tap

[andrew 0]

Hopefully this is a simple question. I always have problem screwing on a wall tap (e.g. For water hose or washing machines) and when fully tightened, it does not face down, instead it's off-angle.

I tried putting more rubber washer or increasing the thickness of the white tape but to no avail.

Any tips from fellow DIYers ?

Thanks

You've got it right...

That's all you need to do....

rubber washer normally put in 2...

White teflon tape use ALOT!!!

you'll get the alignment in a few tries...
