plumbers putty for leaky threaded joint?
The threaded pipe joint I installed last week for one of my home's hot
water radiators is leaking a little. It it now obvious to me that I didn't put enough pipe dope on when I installed. I would prefer to wait a few days before I redo because we're in the middle of a cold spell. But the pipe orientation makes it difficult to catch the drip, so I want it to stop. Would plumbers epoxy putty work here? or would the heat and lack of smooth surface (i.e. threads) doom this patch job to instant failure? And if it does work, would I be able to remove the putty or does it harden so strong that I won't be able to break it off. I never worked with this stuff before, so I'm not familiar. Opinions? -Theodore. |
