I was just replacing our dishwasher with a new one, and I noticed
something...

First off let me tell you in the past I have always swapped stuff like
this myself, but when we moved into this house we were just too busy and I
didn't have time to do everything. I let my wife hire a plumber to
install the dishwasher we brought from the old house and move her fancy
toilets.

Anyway, I pulled the compression nut off the water supply line and it was
wrapped in pipe dope... over top of teflon tape... AND there was more
pipe dope under the tape. I stripped all that crap off the fitting with a
wire brush and installed it in the new dishwasher. Tape on the tapered
pipe thread into the machine, and nothing on the compression side from the
supply line. Amazingly it work just like it was designed.

Wadda dope!




See! Wire brushes work MAGIC! Just make sure you throw them away after
each use and buy new ones.
