Hey all, I got two questions: one, is it safe to file off the ridges on a threaded male and female adaptors? And two, how do you get a modded sprinkler valve to stop honking (yes I have looked.)
Yeah I know… I ask too many questions.
Thanks |

| I’m trying to make a 3” coaxial cannon and sleeve it in 4” and I’d like to be able to access the piston. |

| Mod teh sprinkler valve with as little as possible hose for the blow gun.More hose=more honk. |

| The honking also happens when it is opened to slow, or at a lower pressure. |

| Ok thanks, but about my first question is it safe? By the way I’m not talking abort the threading but the ridges around the out side. |

| The hex so that is all round? Then yes, Gort does this to make stuff fit flush. |

| No my adaptor has little ridges that run parallel to the pipe. |

| Hm, I think those are only on DWV and other non-pressure safe pipe, might want to look into that because I have no pressure fittings with ridges like that. |

Yes well it’s “for pressure”, and it’s only 1.5” so…
Hey instead of starting a new topic all just ask it here, what can you use instead of Teflon tape to seal threads? |

| They all have thoes ridges, thay are so you can grop the pipe with a wrench. Thoes ridges don't effect the strength of the fitting. You can difinitvly file them off. |

| That's what I said spudstuff, the hex ridges but he said no. Eh well, look by the pvc glue and crap and they will have this stuff in tubes that looks like tooth-paste, its teflon goo, it never dries. It works in applications with pressure and temperature, pretty good all around stuff to have in the box. |

| I've had some on a modded sprinkler valve for a few weeks now and its still wet, I'm not sure why the pressure doesn't blow it off but its there and it seals perfectly. |
