Hey, on one side of my empire on/off valve it leaks where the allen screw goes in...can anyone help me with fixing this, i put teflon tape on it and it just slows the leaks, thanks

I'm assuming you have a little plug and than macroline on both sides.
Put teflon around the threading... a good amount... not a WHOLE lot, and make sure its JUST on the threading... now tighten the end plug a lot and the macroline just so its tight but not overtightened.
It shouldn't leak

there is no leak whatsoever on the side with the macroline elbow. the other side where there is nothing, just an allen wrench screw has the problem with leaking. i put a good deal of teflon tape but it still leaks. would locktite work in this situation???
