Now, here’s where amateurs screw up. You wrap plumber’s tape around the threads of the stem—but only a few layers, not a mummy wrap. Wrap it clockwise when you look at the end, like you’re giving the stem a little scarf.

Do not tape the washer itself. The washer is the real hero, not the tape. Tape just stops leaks from the stem’s shoulder. If you tape the washer, you’ll create a mess that will make your spigot cry rubber tears.

Screw the stem back in. Hand-tighten first, then give it a gentle grunt with the wrench. Don’t overtighten—that’s how you crack the housing and end up calling a priest for an exorcism. I overtightened once and my spigot started vibrating like it was possessed.
