Why Loctite

[freeeze43]

Replacing rinse water solenoid valve, basically had to cut it out and re-pipe all because someone used that loctite, not the thread sealant kind. Who ever installes sure was not thinking that it might have to be replaced. The stuff that should be used by loctite is the thread sealant for hot water applications.NOT THREAD LOCKER....

In my old company they loved Loctite for sure the plumber who did the job worked for GP before, lol

If you hit thread locker with a torch it melts and acts like a lubricant helping you unthread it. I am referring to the red loctite 554 which is refrigerant rated.
