Discuss Oil pressure guage feed up using ptfe in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
I missed that bit!Inverness means what method of sealing oil gauges for the temporary testing of oil pump pressure, as in the title of his thread.
I just use ptfe tape on end of gauge and manifold and have to redo it every few times.
I tried an O ring in the past, but gave up on that.
Must admit there has to be a better, permanent seal to use, rather than tape

I use PTFE for temporary joints as you do.
My apologies for not paying attention.
I don't know why I miss read it tbh. Can you imagine using stag on your oil gauge? you would go home looking like a murderer!Lol! I did read the post and then thought, - why are people advising using Hawk White or Stag on oil gauges?
I often misread a lot of threads. A lot seem to have the question only in the title.
Did the O ring disintegrate mate? If so a different compound of rubber is required.I tried an O ring in the past, but gave up on that.

I use an aluminium washer. These can be taken off of scrap oil pumps.any special sealing washers that I can use instead of up ptfe every time I service an oil boiler. Cheers

Have a reference chart buried in a file somewhere of what compound can be used with which liquid but haven`t seen it in 20yrs!
