A small tube of waterproof grease
 

On occasion, I get to work on refrigerated equipment. The suction line
typically has a steel valve, with a steel cap over the valve shaft.
And often a steel cap, over the gage port.

These theads get rusty, and it's sometimes impossible to get the caps
off. I'd been thinking there must be some material I can put on the
threads, to keep them from rusting.

PB Blaster isn't there when I get back. Silver Permatex Thread Never
Sieze, same thing. It tends to wash away.

What I'd like, is a heavy grease, in a small tube maybe 2 onces or
less. So I can toss it in my tool box. This yet unknown grease should
be water proof, and should handle temps from 0F to 100F. Without
running off. And should handle warm air blowing ont he threads, from
the condensor, without evaporating. Is there such a product?

Not sure if this would work: Pool & Spa Lube (Chemical Resistant
Fluoropolymers)

Use on O-rings, gaskets, valves and threaded parts (fiberglass pool
filter cowling). "And more".

3.5 oz. in a tooth paste sized tube.

This product feels like silicone to me. But a gel consistency.

Might. I'll have to look for it, at the auto parts. Good idea, thanks.

I did check an auto parts store, but the "assembly grease" didn't look
water proof.

How about a sporting goods shop? Buy a small tube of Hoppes Gun Grease.

Or order it online. I've been using it for many years and it performs
easily within your needs.

Silicone spark plug boot release at any autoparts store. While there,
get some brass caps and do yourself and your clients a favor by
offering an inspection and free cap replacement.

They have either steel, or plastic caps. The plastic ones rot on,
also. I'm not sure brass would help. An interesting idea. One similar
cooler I worked on, had brass valve and brass caps. So, I guess they
are made.

Boot release is a good idea. I bet that would work fine.

Pipe thread dope, found at the small town hardware store. Supposed to
seal threads, and prevent rust. Just what I was seeking. Three bucks,
for two ounce tube. I'll try it, and see how it goes.

If it doens't work, I've got some other excellent ideas from this
list. Thank you.

A little more money, but you get 50% more and it's great grease. Been

Buy a tube (I've seen very small ones and larger ones the size of a
fat short toothpaste tube) of Silicone Dielectric Grease. You can
usually find it in any decent auto parts store. Or buy the small
little capsules of disk brake pad backing lube, which is also now
being sold in little packets as light bulb socket protectorate. The
best deal is the large tube, it's usually around $6.

refrigerator to work on it?
