we got a leak in a cooking oil filter machine, we tried the RTV permatex high temp in a red tube but it fail off after few days, will this one work?

I don't think you want to use this in a food-handling application, you should probably look for a food-safe sealant of some sort

I thought the same thing, but, I used it and it solved the oil leaking problem. I run the mixer once a week since (if not used) and so far so good.

I used RTV with good results. It spreads out to seal better than the gasket alone, pretty much ensures a no-leak installation. In addition, the RTV helps hold the gasket in the valve cover while you install.

I used Teflon tape when I replaced my unit but it might be okay without (better safe than sorry). I'd image it would depend on the port on the tank itself as much as the valve. I will add that this is a very slow valve. It takes a lot longer to air up a tire than my tank's original valve.

Sure but you may also want to consider plumber's dope. My pecking order is as follows: I first try teflon tape, if that does not work then plumbers dope, then permatex products like the one you are using. The permatex you are using is one of their stronger products for the particular circumstance. As you can see, it is an aviation product.

Its perfect for oil pans but be sure to clean thoroughly and then degrease a couple of times with a solvent. Just like any other RTV, it can't stick in the first place if its still oily.

Nope it was ultra weak! Try another brand. I found a dye leak tester at a local auto store for about 20 that worked well for that

Thanks all for your help and advice. I called 3M and he said I should return it to the store. Sounded like the urethane had hardened in the tube. Returned this afternoon. Got a new tube with a current lot number. Haven't opened it yet. Here's hoping.

I asked the The Kitty Tube manufacturers about this for myself a few weeks ago because they had had a low voltage heating pad on their website and then it wasn't there. I was told they will be offering a new, improved version soon. Contact them directly and they could tell you more.

I used it on a hot tub leak and it did not work . I think it failed to work mainly because I used the recirculation pump to mix the product as they suggest, but the leak was in a line where the pressure build up probably was too great and resulted in the product not working

I believes it is better suited for other applications. My experience, a lot more volatile chems and highPressure washer on hot day is best for that issue! No expert, just my experienced!

It should kill anything that would be killed with boiling hot water becaue it operates with scalding hot steam. If this is not enough info contact Euroflex/Monster and ask more information.

The pot I repaired had been used several times for baking in an oven with 450 degree or higher temps. It has been used numerous times to boil water for canning (Can you guess it is my favorite pot) and is still going strong. I believe in the permatex liquid metal and would recommend it for any metal repair.

Lyle I had the same problem on a 120v line. The pressure got so high it burst a section of pipe. You will find the contacts are pitted or burned, If not check the spring action it may be jammed.

If you got standard membrane housing (I think you do) then it should work. I had used TW30-1812-24 for 3 years before changed to this Watts. However you must change your current Capillary Flow Restrictor to 260ml/mn (BLACK) for 24-36gpd. On second thought, you should buy Filmtec brand. After 3 months of usage, my TDS level went up to 95 from 0. I suspected that this Watts membrane got loose inside standard housing. Before the water reaches the DI filter it was 230 TDS. So I took it out and put it back in and got 30 before the DI filter. Also to help the production of water you must install "CV-10 push-in check valve" at permeate out, this really push the tank to reach the limit.

Good morning. It's impossible to answer that question directly... there are just too many variables.... Exactly where is it leaking? how bad is it leaking? and so forth..... That being said, this product solves a lot of problems for a lot of people... It's always worth a try before going to the expense of breaking down the engine for repair. Eric
