    I've seen you offer to help people on orchid and now I have a bit of
    a problem.  I have a new safety valve for my steamer and I tried to
    put it on today and power up the machine. All is fine but steam is
    leaking out of the threads both where it screws into an inside
    fitting that screws into the steamer fitting. I used a blue joint
    compound on the outer threads and put it right on. I didn't wait
    before trying it out.  When I saw steam I used my crescent wrench to
    tighten it another round without stopping the steam. I have not shut
    it off and am waiting for it to cool before I do anything else. 
    Maybe I should have my husband put some "man torc" on it when he
    gets home from work.  I really want to do it myself, though. Do you
    have any help as to my mistake?  Thank you so much for your time, 
    Patty Rios, Springfield, MO
