Sealing gas pipe sleeve

[Matt0029]

Is this the stuff to use to seal a gas pipe as it goes through a sleeve internally. I went back to one I had sealed with this a few years prior and it had turned green

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Yes fine was there a fitting close too ?

 

[Matt0029]

There wasn't no, it hadn't pitted it or anything just turned it green. Is that what is usually used to seal sleeves

 

[Matt0029]

Also is there any truth in not using plastic talon clips for gas pipes externally sure I read somewhere they said not to because can go brittle?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Have to use uv rated which talon are but I like to use brass clips

And regarding the fjs I’m guessing the oils leached out due to the warm weather

Ah just leaked and discoloured the copper? Not corroded.

 

[Matt0029]

I was thinking about the brass ones it's external maybe a tiny bit safer with brass

Yes bet it comes off with some soapy water

Yes, FJC is pretty expensive though for some putty!
Standard talons are UV stable, not sure about the new coloured ones though

But FJC is what most use?
