Loctite 342134 55 Pipe Sealing Cord, 145 m

I just reassembled a water filter system consisting of 4 filter cartridges. The 1st time I used teflon tape. The 2nd time I tried a top recommended joint compound. Both of these attempts resulted in multiple water leaks . After more research I decided to try the Loctite 55 cord, it is faster, cleaner and easier to apply and there was not a hint of a leak at any of the 11 joints in this system.

I mean, the layers of teflon tape SHOULD get into the grooves and make a good seal, right?I’ve seen plumbers put two, three, four layers of tape on NPT fittings and STILL get leaks. “Shoulda used recktoseal” (intentionally misspelled for copyright issue avoidance).THIS works. Fills in the deep crevices of the grooves, followed by a layer of teflon tape and WOW, good seal.Using it on a my farm deep well and it’s the first time in years I haven’t felt like I needed to crank up the torque on fittings ALMOST to the breaking point to get a good seal.Cheap insurance, get some.

I've tried all the rest and retaped some of them. Didn't always work the first round.But this was easy to use and worked Nicely product and is very easy to use. Highly recommended.

producto excelente para uniones roscadas de aguaAquellas uniones que aveces dan problemas de pérdidas con cinta de teflón, con este producto queda perfectoEs cierto que permite retroceder un poco para ajustar la posición sin que queden pérdidas

it is what it is.

I had leaking fittings for my house water filter and nothing would stop them. I tried cleaning out the threads with a pipe tap and die, I tried thread tape, pipe dope and continuously tightening 1/4 turn at a time. Nothing would work, until I discovered this great invention. Since winding the threads with Loctite 55, not a single drop worked its way out. Every time I walk through the room with the filter I check the fittings. Dry!. I have already recommended this to multiple people. Even sold my father on this, a retired engineer from the water heater industry.

This the best method to insure your threads don't leak. Used tape many years, but this new teflon thread approach to insure leakproof threads is THE BEST for gas and water. It's much easier to apply, just cross rap cross thread the teflon threads on to your fitting. It's the only way to water tight straight fittings.

This product failed to stop a water leak on 3 pipe fittings. I replaced it with ordinary white teflon tape and the leaks stopped. The original pipe dope developed a leak. Amazon sells much better teflon tape products including yellow for gas, white for water, etc., and at a much better price. Buy the tape products from Amazon and forget this overpriced product.
