On low pressure I like, as mentioned by other, the loctite 567. I prefer the 544 on higher pressure machines.

Lol., IDK (have no idea) what happen there.,
I do love the site and the folks here though . It's all about knowledge fun and well -- crazy , confusing , and incomplete posts,.

According to who ?
Why would Trane supply a teflon ribbon to be used in conjunction with the suction elbow O ring if Teflon was not compatible with
R123 ?

Done

While working for a manufacturer leaks were a majority warranty expense. At one time, all mechanics working for the company had to attend a class put on by Loctite. We had very specific instructions on what we could and could not use.

We were specifically instructed that Teflon tape was unacceptable. In the early days of this new awareness we were told to use Loctite 565. Later the company started using a more aggressive sealant Loctite 554 refrigerant sealant for fittings 3/4" and up. Eventually, the company went to SAE fittings and o-rings. Through the education and use of appropriate sealants the warranty claims for leaks were cut dramatically.

Grape jelly.. Yumm
