Hi everyone,
I'm assembling the parts to replace the hot section on my C&C30 A4, and have a couple of questions:
1. On the black iron nipples and elbows, do I put some type of sealant compound on the threads, or just dry fit them?
2. How do I make sure everything is facing the right way when it is tight? In other words, once tight enough, can I get another half to full turn on the threads to align things?
3. How tight is tight enough on 1.25" black iron?
So far things are going well, but surprisingly, the part I'm having the hardest time sourcing is the 1-5/8" pipe to go from the Moyer water mixer fitting to the water lift. If anyone has a tip for where to get that near Ottawa I'm all ears!
Thanks very much
Simon
