Bill,

A 1/4 " is plenty of connection. If the water isn't leaking you are
done.
Use pipe dope or teflon tape. Plumbing fittings are meant to get tighter
as
they go on.

I just found it strange that there would be 1/2" of theading on both the
elbow and dishwasher connection. And it just didn't look like it had gone on
enough. But I guess that's the way it's supposed to work.

Thanks for your help.

Bill
