Loctite 55 Pipe Sealing Thread Cord for Water and Gas Leak Fix - Size 150m

Worked fine on a threaded brass fitting without leaking. It's a nice addition in my toolbox for the occasional home repair.

Good quality for sealing these hard to seal pipe threads. Pipe fittings are made in so many different countries it's hard to get them to seal. This is the best one that I have found for the tough ones.

Like the concept of the product but don't find it better than teflon tape.

I purchased an OVE bidet from Canada which has an anti-hammer valve at the wall and the threads were too long which made the valve bottom out into the new brass wall fitting I installed. I could not grind off the end as part of the mechanism is flush with the end of the valve. I tried two types of sealant as well as Teflon tape and could not seal it. I was using a 16” pipe wrench and tightened it so much I was afraid I would break the screws off the brass fitting inside the wall. I finally was able to seal it with pipe dope made for gas lines, however the valve orientation was wrong (outlet heading down but it should be up) and I was not sure the pipe dope would last in water service.I knew about the Loctite 55 but it is so expensive, well I purchased and applied the Loctite 55 it sealed right away. I only had to tighten it half as much as I tried to before, I was able to orientate the valve to the proper position which I could not do before. This stuff is terrific; my only complaint is you have to buy so much of it. Come on Loctite make some half and quarter amounts available.

I had to cut out the old fittings from a steam radiator and the threads were a bit rough. This stuff works so much better than tape. Easy to use. No leaks.

It worked as advertised. Way better than plain old silicone tape!

Works but way over priced product.

I had 3 pipes that leaked,I used tape and pipe dope nothing worked except loctite 55.Love it.
