  1. Ok one last question if I keep it schedule 40 and just get a better seal would that be fine and safe as well?
  2. Looking at the pictures would changing the 1/8” x 4” nipples to schedule 80 cause any concerns for how the forge operates? And would it be safe to switch to schedule 80?
  3. I tapped it on the side of the pipe. Would it be better to go up to schedule 80 or would it not matter so much? I see what you mean with the pipe being curved and not being ideal for threads but I was thinking if I go to schedule 80 it might be a better seal?
  4. Do you think RectorSeal No. 5 Pipe Thread Sealant Sealant would be good? Or do you have any brand preferences or suggestions?
  5. Well thanks for all the help. If you don’t mind I had 2 other question. Do you think pipe dope would be better then yellow tape for sealing the mig tip threads? Also what is a good pipe dope people use for forge burners?
  6. Yeah my burners are working great and the leak is very small. So It should be ok safety wise?
  7. No I used yellow tape for propane. I sprayed soapy water on the part where the mig tip screws into the pipe and it forms very small bubbles indicating a leak.
  8. My mig tip that’s tapped in to pipe on forge burners has a tiny leak where it screws in. is this safe to use?
