Working Maintenance at a food processing plant most all plumbing is
stainless, stainles has a nasty habbit of galling, I use mostly the white
loctite in the tube. It can get messy,does stay soft but firms up a little,
be sure to wipe off excess!!

When I worked as a natural gas pipeline grunt, Rectorseal(pretty sure
