    Default Threaded fittings leak solver!

    I don't have any problems with threaded leaks, tapered to parallel or single lead torn threads. I use Rector seal #5, never had a drip or weep used it on 1/16 to 6" pipe, 3" to 6" a couple hour wait before pressurizing.
    Used at hydraulic pressures over 10,000 psi.
    <<<<<<NO OXYGEN>>>>
    The manufacturer recommends RectorSeal No. 5 for piping carrying:

    Gasoline (Leaded Unleaded)
    Gasohol (unleaded Gasoline and 10% Alcohol)
    Natural Gas
    Air, Compressed
    Heating oils
    Nitrogen, Gaseous
    Ammonia- Gaseous, Liquid
    Helium, Gaseous
    Petroleum Solvents
    Aliphatic Solvents
    Hydraulic Oils
    Soap, Liquid
    Caustic, Dilute
    Hydrogen, Gaseous
    Steam
    Cutting Oils (Low Aromatic)
    Inert Gases
    Vegetable Oils
    Diesel Fuel Oil
    Kerosene
    Water (Hot or Cold)
    Freons
    Liquefied Petroleum Gases (Butane, Propane, Mixtures)
    Mineral oils

    Not recommended for oxygen.

    I use it on Hvac. plumbing and sprinklers for fire service just about every where.
    This isn't an ad it's what the trades use.
    Also after many years the threads come apart with a little extra effort and are still clean.

    Here is a link to their site

    Excellent!

    Been using Rectorseal since I was 10 years old (57 now). My Dad was a Plumbing contractor. White for water, Yellow for gas.

    I initially read rectal seal. I suppose it was my inner child, (the one who still laughs at farts).
