Leaky threaded pipe fittings

[MushCreek]

I'm not so much worried about the life expectancy of the sillcock. The problem is that when I redo the exterior sheathing on the building, I'll have to remove it to remove the old sheathing, and put the new sheathing on. I probably won't have the funds to work on the exterior for a year. Meanwhile, I need to finish off the interior of the shop so I can heat it this winter. The pipe ****** I used is long enough that I can remove the screws holding the sillcock to the building, then pull it out far enough to get a pipe wrench on the ****** so I can unscrew the sillcock. Replace the sheathing, screw the sillcock back on, and screw it in place.

Cut the sheathing off in that spot now and build up a small mounting block. When you come back in a year, sheath up to the block, trim out nice and you're done

Guaranteed no leak pipe joint....Pipe dope and pipe thread works everytime....pipe dope alone useless, Teflon alone don't bother, pipe dope and Teflon tape works most of the time.
