    What sealant use to connect two propane lines together (so it doesn't leak)

    Sorry for delay. Fittings are in fact not tapered looking to me. These look like standard air fittings. The reducer I got screws right onto both the 3/8 and the 1/4 fitting. Looks like I will be going to lowes to get some type of LP gas sealant. I will note I had to heat up the fittings...

    What sealant use to connect two propane lines together (so it doesn't leak)

    Phil/All Appreciate all the responses. I'll have a picture when I get home from work in a few hours. I didn't honestly didn't even really take note. I just figured something was needed, so can completely understand all the different response. -Nigel

    teflon tape and big NPT fittings

    Going to ask a dumb question. Why have they not changed the threads so that they do not leak if you don't put anything on them? Is that even possible? I only ask because it seems like with all the different types of pipe and thread types why hasn't there been a way to prevent possible...

    What sealant use to connect two propane lines together (so it doesn't leak)

    I have Mr. Heater big buddy in my garage. Love it. Should have bought this years ago. I can get my garage up to about 65-70 degrees in about 45 minutes or so. I purchased their 12' hose a while back (F271803 12 ft) but it isn't really long enough, and puts the propane tank by my work/car...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I've done both. Precut is nice if it's accurate. If it's not accurate then it's a pita to install because it doesn't seem like anything is lined up. Hand cut isn't as bad as it seems. If you are able to use the outside of the glass you end up with almost 100% accurate template to use. My...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Youtube and practice/mistakes...lol I did my truck, then after the tint faded to almost nothing years later (my fault for buying crappy brand), re-did it. Then just recently did my wife's solara, which proved to be a little harder than expected. I was expecting a problem with her Lexus but it...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Decided to tint my wife's NX front windows. Went with 3m color stable 20%. Matches nicely with the factory tinted rears. Only thing is when you are on the inside, you can see that the factory tinted glass lets in more white light compared to the 3m tint that has more of a darker tint when...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Just trying to keep my mind off things. Got tired of driving my wife's spare car and getting blinded in the morning so decided to tint the windows. Just have to do the driver side rear window. Tint was messed up so I had to order another piece. I did my ranger so this wasn't too hard for me...

    Can this water on/off valve be rebuilt or does it need replaced?

    Awesome thank you for the link to the product above! I am going to order it when I get home once I confirm which size I need. Don't remember if it's 3/4" ..etc. One more dumb question. When I cut the pvc pipe right at the ball valve won't I have to extend the pvc to now go into the new...

    Can this water on/off valve be rebuilt or does it need replaced?

    So that I understand..What is the bonnet nut? Is that the nut holding the red handle on? I had the valve completely opened and unscrewed the green arrow. At that point the shaft was loose and would wobble up/down/left/right. Does that mean I would put that shaft straight out/back? I didn't...

    Can this water on/off valve be rebuilt or does it need replaced?

    These are in our utility room inside in the basement. The far right spigot drips or isn't sealing properly because when I shut off the water on that right spigot it eventually drips to the outside spigot and it fills up the line between. That's how the pipe cracked over the winter. I was...

    Can this water on/off valve be rebuilt or does it need replaced?

    yep so it seems like that is happening to me... I shut the water off. I am able to remove the first arrow in green nut. The second arrow in red won't budge at all.... So in terms of replacing this what is needed now. Looks like there is cheap PVC pipe which is then glued to metal pipe and...

    Blue-Point DMSC683 multi meter lead question

    Awesome thank you for the information. Wasn't 100% sure if I needed to source only Snap On/Blue point leads. I will look at Fluke since they seem to be coming up and look like decent quality! Found a Fluke kit that looks like it would cover EVERYTHING I would ever need...

    Blue-Point DMSC683 multi meter lead question

    I have a Blue-Point DMSC683 multi meter. I got it used many many years ago. It's served me well but just recently I had to sort of jerry rig it up to back probe wires and it got me thinking if I can use new leads with it as it would have made my life easier than wrapping wire around the test...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    I took pictures and have the wiring in which I tapped to help others but most people on the board don't want to spend $300 for a rare JDM OEM part to retro fit on their vehicle. In general support/how to's and other such things aren't the greatest... It's bit of a shame but it is what it is...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Took apart the wife's 18' Lexus NX to install OEM jdm illuminated cup holder inserts. Wasn't too bad of an install. Longest part was finding which wires to tap and that enabled dimming. There is next to zero support on the lexus forum for this mod so I had to find it. Ended up working out...

    Help with drainage in the back yard (pics)

    Thanks for all the replies! This puts my mind at ease than when it was the other day... I just saw all the damn water and started freaking out. I really like the idea of planter boxes/garden. That make the most sense for that area I think on the side and it would look nice, plus less grass to...

    Help with drainage in the back yard (pics)

    Saturday we got a TON of rain. More so that I can remember in a long time. This type of rain is rare. Raining hard in the morning and didn't really stop until the night. The back yard was filling up with water in places I never noticed before and especially around the shed. I see a couple...

    Another MaxJax Anchor Question
