In this article I will tell you how to make a reliable threaded connection for water pipes. Which, after a year, after installation, turns into non-separable and the tightness will be 100%.
In order to show you how this connection is made, for example, I took a combined coupling, flax and a ball valve "Bugati".
First of all, I pack the thread, how to do it correctly, I will leave a link at the end of the article.
After that, a sealing paste should appear in "normal" modern hands. As in this photo:
But such a connection can be easily disassembled. Therefore, we use the experience of Soviet masters and take ordinary oil paint.
We wet the brush and grease the flax on the threads liberally.
We completely coat the natural material
After the paint has been absorbed into the reel, we wind the painted joint into the mating thread.
You should get something like this "art".
Where and when to thread the paint?
- In places where high reliability of the connection is required. For example, in an inaccessible place.
In other cases, I strongly do not recommend using this installation, it is practically impossible to turn it off after a year, especially on plastic pipes.
