Great video. You showed me why I had trouble using pipe dope. I had trouble removing parts after many years of service. I was putting on too much dope on the male end of the threads, plus I never wiped off the excess dope after the piece was tightened. Thanks so much.
Great video. I would add a note that Rector 5 and other joint compounds settle after it's been sitting for a while and the applicator is insufficient to thoroughly stir the solids from the bottom. Those solids are needed for a proper leak free seal. Set the applicator aside and use a screwdriver to stir up the solids to obtain the consistency as designed by the manufacturer. Otherwise, the compound will be too thin and increase potential for leaks.
Thanks for watching and for sharing these tips. There are no shortage of debates and forum threads on using tape on compression fittings. Some say that it can interfere with the olive and others say that it provides a better seal. Like most things on the internet the opinions are divided.
Thanks for watching. This is a topic that people have various opinions on. When installed correctly, pipe joint compound or teflon tape can be used individually and effectively. Adding both usually just makes more of a mess.
@@AmreSupply yes true from recent experience having to take pipes apart after appyling pipe compound with the teflon tape was a complete mess getting it all over my hands & fingers, went with straight teflon tape wrapped few times more then what others say 3-4 wraps I go 5-6 with another 5-6 wraps approx where fitting would end on pipe for a very good seal having no problems of leaks going this way.
Thanks for watching. The pipe joint compound used in this demonstration is Hercules Megaloc Multi-Purpose Thread Sealant www.amresupply.com/catalog/Joint-Compounds-DA9
Thanks for watching. If the fitting you are considering uses a rubber o-ring then it will not need any sealant or teflon tape. The faucet aerator uses an o-ring as well as the supply lines so pipe joint compound is not needed.
Can this be used on PVC thread plastic? I don't want to use permanent cement. Trying to use something like this so I could take it out in the future if I need to fix the PVC pipe.
Thank you for watching. A thread sealant can be used with PVC pipe but check the label to make sure its rated for use with PVC plastic. Some oils or compounds can damage PVC so its important to check.
Hi Frank, thank you for watching. You can either use the gas rated teflon tape (which is usually yellow) or gas rated pipe dope to seal a stove gas line.
Thanks for watching. Yellow thread seal tape is designed for use on gas pipe and gas valves but not on lines that are carrying oxygen. If you're curious we have a teflon tape video as well ruclips.net/video/9DhL0vet4gk/видео.html
Thanks for watching. Both pipe joint compound and thread sealant are terms that can both refer to the same kind of paste. Thread sealant tape is also called (polytetrafluoroethylene) PTFE Tape or teflon tape. It is a little less messy as pipe joint compound and will do the same function. ruclips.net/video/9DhL0vet4gk/видео.html
Thanks for watching. Cure time will be specific to the product being used and the temperature of the environment. That info will be listed on the side.
Thanks for watching Danny. The instructions were meant to be general to cover a variety of situations. For example someone is replacing the drain valve on a water heater, they would likely be using an adjustable wrench.
Thanks for watching. I think the recommendation comes from trying to limit any extra pipe joint compound getting into the pipe itself, as well applying it on the male thread is easier to keep clean and control the application.
Thanks for watching. If you are referring to the graphic, that was an error created when the graphic was flipped from it's original orientation. which makes the threads look like they are left handed. Unfortunately this cannot be fixed now that the videos is uploaded without losing all interactions, comments, likes and views. A re uploaded video would be unlikely to gain the same visibility and help the same number of people.

You need to lubricate compression fittings also. And tape or compound will never compromise the seal.

I wonder if you can use teflon tape & pipe compound together giving the extra protection from leaking?

What can I use to seal a stove gas line ? can I use teflon tape and pipe dope ?
Hi Frank, thank you for watching. You can either use the gas rated teflon tape (which is usually yellow) or gas rated pipe dope to seal a stove gas line.
Can I use pipe dope in female fitting?
Thanks for watching. The pipe joint compound is best used on the male threads but if you have no other option it can be placed on the female threads.

You didnt talk about cure time

Should I use PTFE thread sealing tape or pipe joint compound on my compression threads?" A. No, you definitely should not.
Thanks for watching, we're glad the video answered your question!
not a wrench...pliers* haha good video thanks

bah.. i always put compound on male and female threads... guess i was wrong.

Hell. left hand NTP threads. Thats a first...
