Soft-Set Pipe Thread Sealant with PTFE Paste, Non To

Parfait pour le propane vapeur ou liquide

It is exactly as described.

I've been using Gasiola for years. I especially like it for plastic fittings and plastic-to-brass connections. One area where I've had a poor experience was on a propane system where above ground plumbing was 316 stainless and brass (valves). 316 stainless is unforgiving, needing a thin, durable sealant. Complicating the situation was our equally unforgiving environment here in Arizona- Temps reaching 118 degrees baking the steel and everything attached to it. Just for perspective, we have to provide pressure relief valves on exposed copper and brass manifolds used for water as the water often boils driving pressures high enough to shatter plastic pipe attached to that system. On our propane system, we made about ten connections using Gasiola and the remaining 30 or so connections with a high performance teflon tape rated for propane. The system passed a pressure test with flying colors. About 3 months later I discover we have lost a substantial amount of propane. After exhaustive leak detection, we found ALL of the joints sealed with Gasiola had failed. Microleaks were present, and the compound had baked into just dust. None of the teflon tape connections had failed. All of the leaky connections were re-sealed with tape and the system now tests perfectly. I still love Gasoila - just need to be careful about the environmental exposure the connection will have.

This product seems to work well for helping to seal pipe threads. A little messy so maybe gloves.

Good
