The cheap eBay senders are made of very thin brass, and will shear off very easily if you over-torque them – and it doesn’t take a great deal of effort to do so, so be careful. We had a slight drip from using the bare adapter and temperature sender, which was fixed with the application of a small amount of teflon tape.
