Re: heat resistance of pipe dope



On 2/13/2009 8:15 PM Matt spake thus:

I intend to use pipe-thread compound on the threads when I install
the adapters. Then I would wrap the valve with a wet rag and solder
the tubing ends of the adapters onto the copper tubing.

The pipe threads will get hot during the soldering operation.

What kind of pipe dope is supposed to be resistant to this kind of
heating?

I'd use teflon tape and not worry about it.

Personally, I like Vista, but I probably won't use it. I like it
because it generates considerable business for me in consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".
