Nice tap dance........

but despite your "performance" any tapered pipe thread joint, other
than NPTF (dryseal), needs a sealant.
Which would be teflon tape or dope. Teflon tape is a sealant not
merely a lubricant.

To continue to insist that pipe threads do not need sealant is to
mislead & misinform.

Heh! Nice tap dance...

I never said that pipe threads do not need a sealant. To claim that
I did is far worse than claiming I misinformed.

So you are dropping your claim of the threads deforming?


Er, no.

If I drop a claim, I'll say so.
