Threaded pvc fittings

I’ve read so much about thread tape being too slippery and causing over-tightening that is switched to paste. I personally could still over-tighten with the paste and crack a fitting. I do feel like the paste is easier to use and I like that I don’t have to wind it on the right way though lol. Here is what I have been using from Menards, just make sure whatever you get is listed for potable water.

You can still crack a fitting with liquid by over tightening it.  That’s why I had to run to salty critter today. I’ve had a constant light drip that I couldn’t trace its origin completely I thought it was leaking around bulkhead seal. Nope I cracked the bulkhead threaded output and was seeping out of that. :t2412:
