Backstory: I installed a dishwasher recently where one was not present before. I had to replace the tailpiece between the sink and trap with a tailpiece that had the connection for the dishwasher drain. The old tailpiece was metal and I wanted to replace it with pvc since I heard that it is easier to work with. Everything seems to work except for a small leak where the top of the pvc tailpiece meets the metal sink strainer basket. I have tried teflon tape and tightening down the pvc nut hand tight, but it still leaks. I think I may have tightened it down too much since now the nut slips off before it gets too tight.
My question, is it ok to connect a pvc nut to metal male threads or will this continue to leak?
Thank you.
