I use oil base pipe dope on lots of threads more as a lubricant than sealant , it helps take things apart down the road and helps threads from galling when put together dry...
on compression, I dope both the threads and ferrel and dont have leaks unless the ferrel is damaged..

I always used LACO SlicTite Teflon paste, It is good on all types of pipe threads
plus it will not hurt any small kids that decide to taste it :biggrin:

I totally forgot about two girls one cup! Darn it! Some things are better off being forgotten....

What if the fad just ends up making the kids have an odd fetish instead of an interest in plumbing?

Is that what happened to the germans?





It's like I always say, whatever floats your boat, shivers your timbers, and swabs your poop deck.

For a long time I use to dope the threads on stops. One time I had a stop that wouldn’t stop leaking, then I stopped using proflo.

The real benefit to pipe dope on the ferrule is to stop the nut from gripping the back of the ferrule, dragging it, and causing the surface against the seat to tear.


Brass is a good bit self lubricating, but it's less so without the lead in it.

Who doesn’t know who MacGyver is? Back when I worked at the hack company I worked for that was my nickname. Wasn’t until I started learning from a Master that I realized how appropriate it was. They called me that because I could fix anything....

This is what you would get if Elizabeth Warren was a plumber. You have the black, white and red, and the straight and the non-straight all living and working in harmony for a common goal. It's just beautiful man, just beautiful. The trap faces the right direction for a muslim in prayer, and you even have a transition. The end result is not what matters, just so long as you have diversity.

First one was a main line. Cable wouldn’t touch the blockage so I had to blow bag it. The line runs to a manhole about 150’ away. After about 15 minutes we started getting some water flowing and some sludge. After another 5, chunks started flowing, then slugs! Told the home owner he should have it jetted, no warranty. He was cool about it, said he’s not surprised, been having slow drains since he moved in. As you can tell, he’s the diy type. Love this kitchen drain he replaced!
