pipe dope versus teflon tape?
I've been trying to put together some black pipe and have been having poor
luck with pipe dope. I've seen a number of recommendations on this ng for pipe dope over teflon. I forget the brand name of the pipe dope, but it's supposedly the big seller at a real plumbing supply house. I've tried some joints with low torque, medium, and really tight. I still get some leakers. I can then take the same parts, put tape on them, and barely run them past hand tight, and they test good. Is there any longer term issues with teflon on gas lines? thanks, Bill |
