Hello Poppin-Fresh
No need to apologize. As much as I've used teflon tape in the past it was only on threaded connectors not slip type. I will give it a try, for sure, and if it fails, then I still have the option to cement just the reducing connector into the bulkhead, or as you suggested, wait and it'll solve itself.
Thanks again for being there and taking the time to respond.
Bill
