Jointing compound

[Gas74]

What's everyone's thought on what is the best water/gas jointing compound. Jet blue has been recommended to me after being forced to use fernox for years at old work, which I thought was rubbish.

LSX for central heating and water
And laco for gas

Is my weapon of choice

I got on to Jet Lube v2, I think it is called. Expensive but never hardens - so no waste & it does gas, potable water etc.
Boss White is actually a brilliant sealant paste & nothing works better I reckon that it for any hot joints in a heating system as it will ooze into the joint & harden. I actually have sealed joints like on a coil connection at a cylinder by insulating tape stretched over boss white. Not for potable sadly & hardens in the tub unfortunately, but very cheap.

Jet lube v2 for me also.

Jet blue for water, never lets me down. Stag for oil.

My old company used ptfe seal made by facto, brilliant stuff for water and gas, but i cant find anywhere that sells it. In the bag at the moment is Tplus2 and Loctite 557

Jet blue for me, just don't leave the lid off overnight!

 

[Dotty]

Jet blue for water and gas.

Heldite for oil.

Rocol graphite for steam.

 

[Gas74]

Where can I get jet blue? When I look online it just comes up jet lube v2??

 

[Dotty]

Same stuff.

Plumbcenter do a version of it. Bigger tub.

 

[Gas74]

Thanks for the info

I know B&Q did the Jet Lube & maybe still do

 

[Ch4 plumbing]

I say jet blue but I actually mean the plumbcentre stuff!

 

[gmartine]

Thanks, will give it a go.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

you forgot one croppy what about boss white

 

[Dotty]

Never use it now. Jet lube or jet blue (plumbcenter's version)

That's all the jointing compounds I carry and need.

 

[SimonG]

Heldite for oil.

 

[Dotty]

Heldite for oil.

Love the stuff. Doesn't harden and dry out like stag does.

 

[woodytheplumber]

boss universal for me

 

[jldplumb]

Never use it now. Jet lube or jet blue (plumbcenter's version)

That's all the jointing compounds I carry and need.

Is that stuff like a gritty paste? I always used to use that on commercial sites as it was the what BSS used to send. Always liked it but could never remember the name.

Or maybe it Pipecentre not BSS.

 

[Dotty]

Feels a wee bit gritty, yeah.

 

[Geyser]

Jet blue and heldite (when I can get the lid off!)

 

[AlexGas]

For gas, I use GASSEAL by Rocol.

These sealants are hard to beat: Pipe Sealing purchased from - ANTARES - For Water & Fire - You can apply the sealant and screw the fitting to the position you want e.g. pressure gauges and outside taps. The sealant cures, locks and seals.

I know its not a paste but loctite 55 thread cord is wonderful stuff and is fine for water and gas!
