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

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.

Stopped a leak with a new water Bibb. Fantastic stuff.

I ran out of original sealant. This was a perfect replacement matching original string sealant from Grohe.

Been using this for 15 years, VERY hard to find in South Africa and costs a fortune here. Cannot even find this big roll here only small rolls. My last roll this size lasted me some 10 years so I guess Im covered for another decade or more.
