Can it be used to wrap around swimming pool PVC threaded cap to stop water leak?

I would not think so. It is an excellent electrical tape but not for that. HOWEVER, I do have a suggestion. Go to Home Depot and get Teflon thread tape. Remove the cap, wrap the tape around the threads and then screw the cap back on with the Teflon tape in place. That has always worked for me.

The question is, Is this PVC pipe under pressure, i.e. like the normal pressure in your water pipes ? If so, then NO. I have alot of PVC pipes on my lawn sprinkler system, and sometimes a leak occurs, and sometimes, rather than total replace that section, I can take the pressure off, let the area REALLY dry and gluck on lots of PVC cement in the area. Sometimes it works.

I don't know, but our pool is a chlorinated pool. This is a carbon seal so it should work for any application.

Well not sure if this will help, but I have an older my pool with just a 1" PVC pipe/hole for the outflows. I took the connector to the hardware store and rummaged around between the PVC pipe fittings, and the sprinkler fittings and jury rigged a barbed ended reducer. It took three different pieces between the outflow and the waterfall connector to make it fit, but it works great, so I am assuming you may be able to do something similar.

Keep in mind I'm just a do-it-yourselfer homeowner, not a plumbing/sprinkler professional. For attaching to PVC, I used (1"?) threaded adapters (wrapped PVC threads with Teflon tape) with appropriate sized outlet. Tape and tighten threaded adapters, dry fit PVC pieces then clean/glue. In my case, I assembled to sprinkler system inlet PVC first then to the outlet plumbing to assure alignment between Febco adapter/outlet and sprinkler PVC line (that is, between the downstream portion of the Febco and existing PVC). If you expect sub-freezing temps, I've used heat tape/insulation around inlet/outlet valves and body. Febco has downloadable freezing precautions.

The only thing I can think of to try is Clear Gorilla Tape.. that stuff is strong.. I have used it for pool floats and it works

On a vinyl liner I would have to guess no, on a cement liner....for the cost of the product I'd say get it a shot. I was able to seal a leak on PVC pipe joint that was wet and under some pressure. Again, for the cost ...I'd try it on anything to take a chance...good luck.

I don't know if it would work on something that is as flexible as the Pocket hose. I have only used it on pvc pipes that do not move. It's worth a try, I think. A friend of mine has had the same problem as you are having with the Pocket hose...with three hoses! But she didn't want to try the Sealer. Sorry I could not be of more help to you.

As Steven posted; the tip yes but not past the threads. The wires inside the tip may or may not be potted in a water-proof manner. You'd need to cut one open to know for sure. The braided jacket precludes reliably sealing the cable end but it could be run in tubing (such as silicone) if the whole device needs to be immersed. BTW as you know mash tuns are steamy places so even having just the tip immersed it could still eventually short out.

I had no luck with a PVC pipe joint partially due to not being able to work in close quarters with dirt in a hole and getting a fit around the joint. It leaked way bad, but the wrap dried solid! Just not against the PVC pipe.

Most likely not. The product works best when it is rolled around a broken object ir even rolled around leaking flat pipe, one without ridges. I don't recommend the product to simply be placed over a Leak without the benefit of wrapping.

put tape on the fitting and only tighten it till it is facing up.... you don't have top tighten it up so much it will seal

NO, this product is very specifically designed to be wrapped around the exterior of a water line, in an enclosed area, such as under a home in a crawl space, not in the open weather. You are also suppose to complete the installation by wrapping fiberglass matt insulation around it afterwards and covering that with a wrap of plastic. I don't think any of thoses requirements would work well in your desired application.

I used these to thread into a pvc pipe and they worked that way, not sure about your misting kit

I don't think it would work on water pressure a pipe like that would have.I used it on a garden hose, and it stopped my leak as long as I didn't have the hose under pressure, soon as I put a nozzle on it, water just seeps out from under the tape.

I would think so...I repaired a leak in my Jacuzzi with it, and used masking tape as a form. When poured into the form, came out rock hard. Just make sure what u are adhering to is very clean. Good luck

Twist on. You need to line up the threads carefully, though. If you rush and force it, it will leak.

I was able to use 1-1/2" PVC by using a dremel to reduce the diameter of the black plastic end cap. The expansion rollers themselves easily allow a 1-1/2" pipe, but the black end cap was about 1-3/4". I have muslins that are sewn with a 1-1/2" loop at the top, so this was the best solution for me.
