Here is a handy tip for you. If pipe joints continue to leak after being connected, the issue may be with how the Teflon tape is applied. Rather than wrapping the tape flat around the threads, first twist it into a thin, rope-like strand. This helps it conform more tightly to the shape of the screw threads. Next, wrap the twisted tape firmly along the grooves of the threads, making sure it is evenly applied and snug. This method allows the tape to fill tiny gaps more effectively, creating a tighter seal that helps prevent water from leaking through the joint.
