whats th differnce? Which do i need for copper piped CH?

thanks, NT-

I didn't use any goo for my CH and it never leaks. Only problem

arises

with
scratched olives and/or copper pipes.
john

I use jet blue from plumb centre 'cause it's good for gas and also
potable water.

Some people wrap a turn of ptfe around an olive.

I never trust a com,pression fitting. Only use them where

manufacturer

has provided them and there is no other way of connecting to their
appliance. Never use them by choice.

They use them a lot on board ship and never use a compound, but they
also get a lot of leaks which they don't give a toss about. Youve got
decorating and carpets to think about.

OK, I'm undoing joints made with hemp and gloop, and reassembling, so I
assume I shall need gloop. I just dont know which gloop. I dont have
any hemp btw

Available from any street corner dealre,but you will have to go to a
builders merchant for plumbers mait.

thanks, NT
