Treaded plumbing joints that don't leak?
Think it's possible??
Awl-- Goodgawd... what a hassle. And 1/2 brass, at that!! I used to be a fair half-assed plumber, and ahm wunnerin if the problem isn't these cheap chinese fittings. But American fittings are priced thru the effing roof!! What I'm "reduced to" is the old Hercules Pro Dope (mebbe w/ teflon additive), AND...... Thread!! Literally thread, cuz the plumber's string I got just seems to be pushed out of the way. Never had these problems before. Admittedly I'm using Channel-locks on this 1/2 plumbing, but this did not cause a problem before, either, unless I'm just getting weaker, as well as dumber, with age. Goodgawd.... -- Mr. P.V.'d formerly Droll Troll |
