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

A German buddy recommended this to me for my plumbing projects and my goodness how well it works. It's not cheap but it lasts, is easy to use, and functional. Amazing, you'd think this would have a more mainstay spot in American plumbing. You will never use teflon tape again on anything.

This stuff is great! I didn't find out I had a problem with the shower arm until the tiling was complete. I used the teflon tape that came with the arm, multiple times. Leaked each time. I really didn't want to pop off the tile or cut in from the back wall. After doing a Google search this product was recommended for problem fittings. Followed the directions as to winding the tape across the threads. It worked the first time. No more leak. Thank you Locktite. Great product!

Worked well and easier to use than traditional tape. Stopped my leak and very grateful. I would highly recommend this item. Easy dispenser.

Worked to solve our leaking pipe issue! We tried other solutions like teflon tape and pipe dope to no avail, regardless of what we tried our old pipe still leaked because the threads were damaged over the years. We heard about this loctite 55 product and decided to give it a try. It worked perfectly! Worth every penny.

works well, but must only use enough to cover threads or it will stick out beyond fixture and look unsightly.

This was my last hope to seal a NOT thread on my espresso machine mod and it delivered. Hoping for it to not leak at high pressure. Will update in future for any issues.

Looking to avoid buying a way overpriced hose, I used this to seal a 3/8 NPT adapter onto a shutoff valve inside a Toto in-wall toilet, so I could attach a standard faucet supply line. Access was tight, and through a sharp edged hole, and there was no way I could have gotten Teflon tape wrapped on the male threads. I gently wrapped this around a nipple of the same size to estimate how much I needed to cut, then unwrapped it, tied a slip knot in one end to cinch onto the threads and used tweezers to bring it around 8 more times. Sealed perfectly on the first try!

I picked these up after replacing a bath valve where the valve unit came with some teflon tape that even after several attempts (and yes, apply the tape correctly) I would still get a drip. This product worked well and no drips then, or 9mo later as I'm writing this. Teflon tape is certainly cheaper (often included "free" with kits) but I've had issues this time and in the past with it so to me this felt well worth the cost (certainly much cheaper than finding a leaky connection after the fact!). plus less mess and less permanent (in a good way; connection can be undone for future repairs downstream) than the liquid sealers/welders

Come inizi a lavorare con questo prodotto non lo molli più!!!! Pratico e veloce lo ruoti intorno al filetto senza intreccio e senza sporcarti più di tanto!!! Sul fianco trovi scritto quanti giri devi fare in base alla misura e puoi serrare i raccordi senza tirarli a morte. la resa è fantastica!

Ich habe mit diesem Gewindedichtfaden meine komplette Hausinstallation gemacht. Das heißt Heizungsanlage mit Hydrobox und Speicher, Heizkörper und Trinkwasser eingedichtet. Schätzungsweise 100 Gewinde (1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4). Es gab keinerlei Undichtigkeit. Die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit ist echt hoch und der Faden lässt sich gut auf das Gewinde auflegen und wickeln. Insgesamt habe ich 3 Dosen verbraucht. Ich muss sagen so eine Dose ist schon sehr ergiebig. Ich finde dieses System beteutend besser als Teflonband und Hanf. Teflonband fand ich schon immer bescheiden zum eindichten weil es gerne verrutscht und man schnell zu viel draufwickelt. Hanf ist meiner Meinung nach der beste Dichtstoff weil es noch quellen kann. Die Verarbeitungsdauer ist aber höher und mich hat dieses gematschte mit dem Neofermit schon immer genervt. Fazit: Eine gute alternative zu Hanf und Teflonband mit guten Dichteigenschaften und hoher Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit.

Arrived in great condition with a solid expiration date (2029). They’ve also improved the packaging since my last purchase. They now have it designed so that the lid stays attached all the times. (You just flip open the smaller lid when you need it and flip it closed when done.) Nice improvement! Having worked on my home plumbing for several years using mostly Teflon tape which was always a roll of the dice, I can honestly say that this stuff was a huge game changer. Compounds did the job well for me too when needed, but they required curing time before I could turn the water back on. This product works instantly so there's no waiting needed. And it’s super easy to apply. Since switching to this product, sealing my plumbing fittings has never been so simple. I would highly recommend it!

Me parece un buen producto, Habìa batallado en unir dos tubos con la cinta teflòn, depende del n'umero de vueltas, pero para atinarle y formar un bien sello era una lata, siempre se asomaba una gota de agua, Con el hilo, el sello entre las uniones quedò bien y al primer intento, en el producto te sugieren un nùmero de vueltas. Si no se dedican a la fontaneria, y no quieren batallar en las uniones con la cinta teflon, este producto es una buena alternativa.
