What is the best joint sealant for tapered steel joints. The Pipe will be chased into a wall so will be permanent and not really accessible . What is the best method and reasons why. I've done lots of reading and all have there benefits or downfalls, one post went on for 9 pages once the bitching started so short simple answers will be good.
Jet Blue - semi permanent gasket type joint that sets and is suitable for virtually anything that runs inside it -maybe best for permanent solutions
Boss Wite or Similar paste - easy to apply non setting compound bit old in the tooth but lasted safely for ages
Gas ptfe - easy one wrap solution -reported maybe degrades with gas -not really proven anywhere but joint would become loose if it did
Gas Ptfe and Paste - again complete seal but supposed reaction between tape anf paste making unsafe for permanent situations
Loctite 55 - One of the latest non setting solutions that passes all the tests with flying colours, just not readily available off the shelf locally
So any advice for the best permanent solution, the pipe will be behind kitchen units and tiles etc so could be got at but would require a lot of work to expose it
