You use the tape and the dope and do it real tight. This is just a stupid way to give yourself minor burns. The threads are supposed to deform, the male threads should be softer than the female, and the tapered threads smush everything together.
So, I have the opposite problem. The nozzle of a 3D printer always comes loose. Now I think it is because it expands as it is heated. Besides over heating it and torqueing hard, do you have any other tricks?
Sure, it's never going to come loose, but there will still be a spiral leakage path. One end will have pressure on one side of each thread, and a gap on the other, while it's reversed at the other end. The fluid can still seep along the gap, move around the edge of a thread in the middle, then use the other gap to go the rest of the way.
Just use an o-ring and don't rely on threads sealing…
I always say as tight as you can…. then 1 more turn
I love your broken things ! I hate mine .
Comment 667. I ruined it 🤣

It's actually about .7 thou a 100 f according to metals and how to weld them.
Use Leak Lock from Highside Chemicals. It cures like cement and the next guy will curse you for the rest of his life.
Cussing is part of apprenticeship,you'll get better,trust me😁👍
Too much work. Cross thread, tighten to eleven ooga doogas and can it a day.
Is it NPT or ITP 😎
You can't invariably be the next guy, because I am invariably the next guy.

Love these tricks of the trade(s)…Thank you!
OR, you could use the wonderful and hated Expando. It'll never leak. It'll also never come apart…
This guy is the king of Youtube!!
🤣🤣
Laughing my balls off whilst getting an edumacation!
"Fuck the next guy."
The world sure sucked before teflon.
I don't think this is true…
