Does the sealant leach into drinking water from the pipe?
You guys all talk way too much... Just get to the point
It's not even four minutes. That's not long.
3 minute video lol learn some patience or go somewhere els
@@Chi-hk1ds yeah I know but it could be made more efficient don't you agree?
You can speed up the video
@nyer070 true, it could have been cut down, but he is informing people that may not know. Someone may not know that you should wrap all threading, regardless of what the material is made of, or for the application of diffrent fittings.
When using teflon tape to mount a faucet or some valve I can never get it to end up at the right angle (ie 90 degrees) when I tighten it down. How do you do it ?
Just put in tankless water heater. Used tape first. 3 leaks. Used dope 2nd time. Zero leaks
That’s the issue I’m having. I think the threads are so sharp, it’s cutting the tape. I’m going to try the “both” method (tape and dope).
My master plumber buddy says: do both if you're really worried about a specific fitting.
Pipe dope on top of the Teflon tape also will also help lubricate the fitting allowing you to get it on tighter.
Pipe dope on top of 3 wraps of teflon tape works wonders in certain apps...500 psi nitrogen. Male Threads must be cleaned with acetone/91% alcohol before taping. @ralphmacchiato3761
I rarely have a professional plumber work on my house, but when I did have one do some work a few years ago he applied pipe dope on top of Teflon tape. When I asked why he used both he said "I don't like call-backs and using both has reduced callbacks to almost zero". Since then I've been using both.
this video saved me from removing a new tub valve install - unsoldering two male copper fittings and replacing them because of two leaks that I had tightened all the way and still leaked. I'm usually not a teflon tape + pipe dope guy, but had to give this a try before I spent a couple more hours redoing new work because of poor threads. I removed the unions, cleaned off the threads, wrapped 3-4 rounds of teflon tape and pipe dope and it worked! No more leaks, no more work.
Nice
Any discounts for the business marketing course anytime soon?

I have a shower wand that has one of those incredibly short 1/2" male nipples. I set the drop ear elbow the distance specified in the directions and if the tile guy did his freaking job right I would have been able to get more threads into the DEE fitting. But he didn't and now it is not a super solid bond.
So I was thinking of using tape and paste but all the paste at Home Depot is soft setting.
I'm praying that this works and hope there are no leaks.
Any recommendations on the best way to seal threads with this type of situation, or will I just need to hope and pray? LoL
Added a back flush valve to my hot water heater and the adapter to bottom of the valve threads were too sharp, it kept cutting the tape no matter how many wraps I used.
I’m going to try the tape and pipe dope together next…
im a licensed plumber. The best product for thead sealants is tape dope thread tape
I used it on high pressure hot water applications
Thanks for the tip
@AllAboutPressureWashing check it0 out it's rated to 10,000 ,psi tape dope by oatey I've done power washing when I was younger for 10 years I miss it I ve a plumbing company hate it
What about a leftie?!
Adapt and overcome
The blue monster tape is the best tape I have ever used not one leak
Thank you
You're welcome
Blue Monster or TRU Blue all the way
👊🏻
What are your thoughts on Oatey's pipe dope?
@@zanderesp4295 as long as it has PTFE it will het the job done but Blue Monster and Tru blue and rock solid products
What about freezing area one better than the other.
I love your videos. I have seen them all. I started my pressure washing business watching your videos.

Does pipe thread sealant help prevent it from getting jammed up in the future. Let’s say if it has to be unthread, 15 years later and it’s rusted and corroded?
Tape is a lot easier to take apart in the future because the tape kinda shreds up when you loosen it. Depending on the dope/paste, regular stuff with ptfe seems to harden absolute rock hard making disassembly a pain. Metallic and non metallic dope seems to stay soft which is nice
I have a project at home and I really like your demonstration after I watched your video on this TH-cam. Thank you very much!

How do you pay your employees? By the hour?
They are paid by the hour but also have a compensation package based on performance and other measurable indicators.
Thread sealant won't make it difficult to unscrew in case I need to remove in tje future?
No, it's not an adhesive
Do not use Teflon and pipe dope at the same time on PVC fittings they will crack use one or the other use the blue PVC tape, Teflon or pipe dope when dealing with chemicals such as SH
Go with Blue
Blue monster tape is the best
Both! 👍🏻
👊🏻
If you use the sailing, are you gonna be able to take it apart again or is it permanently? Stuck never used before hence the question.
Teflon tape works for most but stainless steel has a special tape. The special stainless tape prevents galling. Brass, Steel and PVC can use regular teflon tape but stainless is different.
I didn't need thread sealant. I used the Makita grinder and cut the metal tubes but left just enough for me to pound in some plugs and I used some JB Weld to seal around those plugs. Then when that's cured I'll just bolt them back on.

Nice and short, that is all we need!
Is the thread sealant safe for drinking water?
Yes - it's on the threads
You just twist the tape into a thin thread and place it in the groove of the tap, then proceed to work the full thread and done.
No
Question I have both products but when i install the stainless steel eye wash station it sill leaking and I use enough tape and sealant any else suggestions? I appreciated
Use permatex 567 for stainless. Comes in a tube like toothpaste. About $60.
Them old leaks ! This was on spot !!
Yes sir!
OK SO OUT OF THE 2 WHAT IS BETTER TO USE?
Both are good - we use Teflon tape mostly
"Clockwise" doesn't mean anything unless you say whether you're looking at the bolt from the direction of the threads or the head. It's also incorrect for left-handed screws, which we do get used for certain devices. Instead, it's better to say that the tape goes in the "opposite direction to the way the bolt turns for tightening" because this is true no matter how you look at the bolt, and whether it's a left-handed or right-handed screw.

Go back to sleep Karen and keep off TH-cam you are only making a fool of yourself.
