So I have two (yes just two) threaded joints to re-dope on my gas heater. I don’t have any dedicated home use pipe dope but I do have permatex “high performance thread sealant.” I can’t see why this wouldn’t work well, maybe even better, compared to traditional pipe dope. Am I wrong?
Permatex High Performance Thread Sealant is formulated for fast, responsive curing on metal pipe threads and fittings. This sealant is a smooth, white paste-like compound with PTFE that controls lubricity to assist assembly and torque tightening. Permatex High Performance Thread Sealant replaces tape or pipe dopes. It cures rapidly to withstand 10,000 PSI within 24 hours. Prevents galling and protects mated threaded surfaces from rust and corrosion. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces.
