This is the 2nd day of our new tankless water heater installation and repiping the whole house with copper. I just want to share a few pictures to see what you think about the quality of work?

[url=http://s1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd395/newbee117/New%20plumbing/]New plumbing pictures by newbee117 - Photobucket[/url] I know nothing about plumbing. and is wondering if this would pass a house inspection when we sell the house. Thanks.

I purchased a new brass 1/2-inch shutoff valve to connect my washing machine's hot water hose. Because the supply line is 1/2-inch copper pipe, I bought a new brass pipe-thread-to-compression-fitting appropriate adapter. I assembled the adapter to the valve on the bench using three wraps of white teflon tape between them. I tightened the connection using a 6-inch and an 8-inch wrench, assembled it to the pipe and turned the supply water on. The *##@$ thing leaks between the valve and the adapter connection. :wall: Weeps might be a better word. Not much, about a drop every 10 minutes. Tried tightening it a few times and could not stop the leak. Now I'm at the point where I'm afraid the fitting will break and so tomorrow I'm going to remove the valve and start again. Did I use too much tape? Not enough tape? How many wraps are "enough"? Everything I've read over the last 1/2 hours says to use "a few turns", whatever that means. I did wrap it in the correct direction. Could it have already been too tight on the bench? Should I have used another kind of tape? I do have some pink teflon tape. How do I know when to stop tightening the fitting and try something else? I've been known to break and/or strip brass fittings before. Comments anybody? - Frustrated
