Averted a disaster the other night... Went down stairs about 10 pm to do
a load of laundry and noticed a seal had blown on the pressure guage on
my water system in the basement and was pouring what must have been a
gallon every couple minutes.. I must have found it less than ten minutes
in and capped it off before my basement flooded.. it was just one of
those things. If I had not done laundry that night, my house would be
****ed right now...


I have been fighting a new Hayward filter for my spa. This thing seems
to have some oversized 1.5" NPT hubs on it and you can't get a regular
male adapter to seal.
I have cut the plumbing open and replaced it about 5 times so far.
Last time I went with schedule 80 pipe nipples with 1/4" cut off the
end that I could run in a little farther than a regular fitting with
a shoulder on it and that seems to be working.



This stuff in a pinch is absolutly the most valuable tool in my plumbing
pouch. I keep one in the truck one in the camper.. etc.. the stuff will
work in any conditions, any time, any place, and I have a couple repairs
I did in Essex nearly 10 years ago that haven't dropped a drop till last
summer when I took the lengths of pipe out and replaced them....

Just get a pack next time you are out, it's like having a cool glue in
your drawer, it WILL come in handy someday...
