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.

you forgot one croppy what about boss white

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

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

Heldite for oil.

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

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.

Feels a wee bit gritty, yeah.

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

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!
