However, threads can be prone to wear. One cause might be expansion and contraction, a cycle that happens when pipes freeze and thaw. Threads might wear from pressure changes or when subjected to vibration. Any of these conditions can cause a leak. In a water pipe, that could mean flood damage running into thousands of dollars. A leak in a gas pipe has potentially lethal consequences.

Apply Permabond LH050 Thread Sealant onto the leading 3-4 threads half way around the male pipe for pipes up to 1½ inches in diameter. For larger pipes, apply completely around the pipe. Anaerobic resin compounds use a different cure chemistry than solvent-based pipe dopes and do not contain solvents. The cure begins when the sealant is confined within the threads of the metal pipe connection and air is excluded. Permabond LH050 is classified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.® for use in devices handling gasoline, petroleum oils, and natural gas (pressure not over 300 psig) not exceeding 2 in. pipe size; propane and butane not exceeding 1 in. pipe size. Type of pipe sealant: 3 main types of pipe sealants include PTFE, anaerobic, or pipe joint compounds – each suitable for different types of applications. Use a sealant gun to squeeze out a generous line of sealant along the inside edge of the existing seal.

Adiseal is a versatile waterproof sealant effective on various surfaces, including metal. Prior to application, it’s essential to clean the metal surface thoroughly by removing any oil, grease, or rust to ensure a long-lasting seal.To test the colour retention of clear waterproof sealants in water, the products were applied to new plastic cups. The cups were filled halfway with tap water, covered, and kept under identical conditions for several days. Waterproof sealant clear test results in water. Threads are a remarkably efficient mechanical device, ideal for connecting pipework. Depending on the material, they can safely transport all manner of fluids and gases while withstanding extreme environments and high pressures.
