sure old man your absolutely right, not good practise at all, in my case
i've noticed the copper washer become slightly fused to the nut therefore
could be used again (imo), have never had leaks, but washer (albeit reused)
has always been there so my suggestion to OP should have included a 'but get
a washer on there asap'
I sincerely apologise for not being much of a challenge, i'm not worthy, but
must correct you about your MCN reading presumption, a £2+ weekly newspaper
stuffed with ads and pretty hand drawn sketches of dream machines? I'm not
stupid enough for that yet (I think).
