I've also been using it for about 5 years and it's great stuff. After
the initial adjustment, I've only had to tighten the nut a couple of

That pretty well matches my experience. I just did maintenance in that
area and the three loops I put in back in 2000 are still fine. I still
let a few drips in, however, as I was told not to run teflon "flax"
dry.
