Swagelok sells SWAK at $40 or more for an 8oz. tube. Then there's another brand, something like STALOCK or whatever it's called, and it runs for $68 for an 8oz. tube. On the other hand, you can buy a 16oz. bottle of RectorSeal 5 for $20-$30, and other PTFE dopes for less.So, how do you really evaluate which pipe dope will work for stainless? We had a horrifying time at one plant with 2 SS threaded fittings, seemed they all got galled and leaked. Any ideas? Can you really trust lower end pipe dope?
To get water from one place to another? Very usefull for plumbing up all sorts of things, Sump filters, central filtration systems, automatic water changers etc. I have to go and buy a length, and a heap of various fittings, this week to connect my new tanks to their home made sump filters. Ian
What is the question? How do they work? Or why doesn't YOURS work? Or some other question?
