Hot Water System FAQ:


I purchased all the parts for a new pressure relief valve on my broiler (hot water heating system), I know how to assemble everything. But, the joint between the new valve and the old pipe weeps water. What is the best way to seal the threads? Is joint pipe compound good enough? The plumber who installed the broiler 15 years ago used a grey paint like substance (it feels slightly slippery to the touch) to seal the joints. Anyone know what this might be? Do I need to use this?
