Joining Brass fittings

[wcavanagh]

What's the best thread lock / sealing for joining these to make a manifold?

 

[petit_pablo]

What fitting are you joining them with?

 

[wcavanagh]

These between each, to make a 5 way system.

 

[petit_pablo]

Cool, PTFE or Loctite 55

As they are compression fittings......Why not a short piece of copper ??

Is 22mm going to fit that socket which is presumably 3/4"

There are plenty of 22mm fittings with a 3/4" thread.

If it must be those two T pieces then 2 olives, 2 nuts and a short length of copper (ie the manufacturers approved fittings) Anything else is a botch. If you want them tight together the best leak-proof botch might be a brass coupling with no sealant and then silver soldering the joints to seal them.

The locktite is really only any good if you can torque up the joint while it sets - these, being parallel threads will only torque up when they bottom out.
