I am trying to replace the leaky water line to my evaporative
cooler. I made an adapter to go from the male end of a water hose
to the 1/4" copper line cooler connection. This worked with no
problems for the old water line for a decade or more. The adaptor
is a brass round piece that screws on the hose male connection with
a center threaded hole. Into the hole is a little brass adaptor
from that thread/diameter to a 1/4" copper-line compression
fitting. I am having water leaks at the threaded connections -
hose, adapter and copper-line connector - it's hard to tell exactly
where the water is coming from. I tried teflon tape - it helped a
little but I still get drip, drip, drip.

Any suggestions? Some sort of anti-leak fluid that will harden and
seal things? Something to put on threads in addition to or along
with the teflon tape?


New washer.
