Default another one for the pf plumbers

garden tap
it was just a bit of pipe with the tap attached to the end so, unsurprisingly, it started to leak
got a new tap
like this one
got the plumbing sorted
fixed it all up
took about 40 minutes from start to finish
but now the tap is pointing upside down

btw, only used the tap and fitting to the wall kit as seperatly these bits cost nearly £15 but in the kit it was £8 so fuck knows what's going on with their pricing policy, even saved on the ptfe tap which was another 60p

but the fooking tap is now on upside down, if i screw it up to make it the right way it leaks from the join, regardless of how much ptfe tape i put around the threads, and if i don't put any tape on it at all it makes it all the way round to about the 2 o'clock position, before it stops
and it still leaks then

shall i just live with it seeing as it goes to one of them manifold things anyway, one for teh hose, one for the power washer and one for the scracrow?
