Hi
I have a Grohe concealed shower valve I’m in installing and the casing it has 1/2 inch BSP-P female threads built into the box. Therefore I need to attach 1/2 inch BSP male to 15mm fittings to allow me to connect up the pipes.
As I will be tiling over I wanted to ensure the best libg term water tight connection between the female to male threads - is PTFE tape ok on its own or should I use some sort of thread sealant instead - if so any advice on product. When googling I have seen quite a few US forums suggesting you need to use both, think that’s what has thrown me.
I have currently used tape but wanted to double check before proceeding
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Alex
