Pizza, pizza, Olives.... Brass, copper. Whats the difference.

Saliva is a great assembly lube for o-ring interfaces too. Biodegradable, non-toxic and non-corrosive (although probably best to not let the customer see ). I used it on a shower cartridge last week and routinely give o-rings a good suck (ooh 'er missus) when servicing my diving regulators (it's actually recommended as an option in the service manual for my regs).

Passionate french kissing also works well on inserts for plastic pipes.

Infact all the best insertions are aided by saliva.

So why is the word pizza in the thread title?

 

[PlumbBobBob]

[zzzjim]

Pizza , Olives .... and any food / beverage a good attention getter !

Shake my hand because i'm big and bad tempered :lol:

Everyone (well most of us older ones) have been guilty of that one at some point. Nothing worse than trying to find a fibre washer in a dark van. Done properly it will never leak.

I also use PTFE to bolster an old washer on traps when removing and replacing if I haven't got one to hand (or can't be bothered to search)
