A Question Aimed At A Plummer.

I’m not a plummer -hi



But would that be a job for a fibre washer?

 

Yep, as the man says. Good quality broad fibre washer, a good wrap of PTFE & a smear of LSX joint sealant.
Belt & braces as they say, i’ve a bathroom business and can’t risk a leak behind tiles or panelling.
Have fun.
Cheers, Doug

 

Tie a sock round it. Never fails...

 

Em, try flax and jointing paste.oh and its plumber. Im an advanced plumber, my fathers a plumber, my grandfather was a plumber my great grandfather was a plumber, my uncles were plumbers.
We have used flax and paste for generations because it works.

 

ptfe tape clockwise as you look at it.
Plenty of flat wraps(6ish) with some over the shoulder.

 

And I bet you are/were all named Bob and are/were straight up and down people...

 

I thought that’s what you do with salt?

 

Oh I misread this as bummer. I’ll go now, my advice is not needed.

 

I’m guessing it’s after the shower valve, so low pressure. I usually use a combination of fibre washer and ptfe on the thread.

 

carr01 is spot on with this questionbut never mix ptfe tape with sealant as it's one or the other
