When you screw in an outside tap into the wall plate, how do you
ensure that the tap is screwed in very tightly to the wall plate so
that it will not move or leak - and the tap is itself vertical?


Ptfe tape on the threads :-)

Yes - but how does that ensure that when you tighten the tap up it is
at 12 o'clock and not half past six?

Add a bit more tape.
