Guys,
Hopefully a nice easy question.
I've (very) limited experience of working with iron pipework and am experiencing a problem when it comes to joining two old cast iron radiators.
I thought that liquid PTFE would do the job but even after leaving it over night this failed dismally! Part of the problems I am experiencing relate to the fact that to connect the radiators together you have to screw the threaded pipe into one before unscrewwing it half way so it screws into the other, I hope that made sense!
Obviously using PTFE tape wouldn't really work because of the tightening and then loosening of the pipe into the radiator. The only other thing I can think of would be to use Loctite 55, is this what you guys would recommend?
Many thanks in advance,
Mark
