Plumbing Tips

In addition to the extensive selection of Plumbing parts Woodstock Hardware can also provide you the technical expertise required to help you successfully complete your next Plumbing Project.  Here are a few plumbing tips that may come in handy. 

  •  Use caulk, not putty.  Most plumbers don’t use Plumbers Putty.  It damages some types of plastic and stains surfaces such as natural stone. Plus, it tends to dry out, crack and allow leaks. Silicone caulk is a safer, longer-lasting sealant. 
  • Tape and dope are equally reliable for sealing pipe threads. Unlike dope, tape is for pipe threads only. Don’t use it on compression or other connections.  Make sure you use the yellow tape on gas fittings.  Always wrap the tape clockwise around the threads or the tape will unwrap as you screw the joint together. 
  • When you’re replacing a toilet or a faucet, you can save a few bucks by reusing the old flexible supply lines. But don’t.  Buy new lines that are encased in braided stainless steel; they’re much less likely to burst. If you already have braided lines that are several years old, replace them. 
  • When a threaded connection won’t budge, heat sometimes does the trick, especially on ancient connections that were sealed with pipe dope that hardened over time. Be patient. Getting the metal hot enough can take a couple of minutes. Protect nearby surfaces with a flame-resistant cloth. This method is for water and waste pipes only, never for gas or fuel lines. 
  • Replace Metal Drain Lines with Plastic.  Metal drain lines under sinks look a lot more reliable than plastic. But plastic is better in almost every way. It’s cheaper, easier to install, and easier to adjust or tighten if a leak develops. And unlike metal, plastic won’t corrode.
