  1. If your going to pressure test that thing you better use both tape and dope , and don't use your bare finger , your just asking for a lacerations

  2. As a machinist I have to say he’s doing the hemp wrong. You need to roughen up the thread that the hemp holds better. In the scratches it gets a good grip. You can do it with a file or sawblade. Many fittings even have already little grooves in it for that case. Hemp is more mess but will expand in contact with water and make the connection even tighter and better. You can even turn back a little with hemp without getting a leak. Ptfe is cleaner but you can’t turn back. Hemp is still a great material and superior in some cases, even if its used less today. Please show it right when it’s a tutorial, or knowledge gets lost.

  3. Паклю лучше промазать казанским автогерметиком, импортные для этого подходят хуже – это 100% герметичность и никаких проблем в дальнейшем при необходимости откручивания.
