Review on πŸ”§ Slic-Tite PTFE Pipe Thread Tape: Guaranteed Leaks-Free Pipe Connections with LA-CO 44087! by Tim Ram

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This tape seals my Dewalt air cartridge adapter solution

This yellow tape was used for the LA-CO gas line with closed AstroAl cartridge and Milton 1/4" reservoir valve NPT at Dewalt Air uses compressor DCC020I 20V and I love it. The Dewalt screw connector is great and lasts longer. But because of the airbags in the back of my truck, when they unscrew the PSI drops a bit and I'm tired of it. I used the closed AstroAl cartridge and was happy with it. If the cartridge is not installed on the valve stem and I turn on the compressor, it quickly reaches the PSI setting and stops. Fastenings are tight, there are no leaks when using gas pipe tape. After inflating the tires and airbags, I immediately turned them off. Ideal. The only downside is I then press the chuck bar against the bolt on my fenders to bleed the air out of the Dewalt line because this quality product tape means it will hold that air and is pressurized forever. Which I'm really happy about as the seal is airtight. A friend and I installed Firestone Ride Right airbags in his truck a few days ago and he loves my Dewalt air compressor (he already has a number of Dewalt 20v units and I reached out to Dewalt). So when he gets his, I'll give him this duct tape, a second AstroAl air canister, and a second Milton 1/4" NPT reservoir valve.

Pros
  • Pressure: up to 2000psi (136 bar)
Cons
  • Something else
