    Hello
    I don't know if it's a good department. If necessary, please transfer. The question as in the title, what to use to seal the thread in the compressor (marked in yellow). I broke it red and now I have to change the whole kit, this splitter. From what I noticed, it is sealed with some yellow glue (it looks like this). I'm afraid that the traditional hemp method may damage this manifold by pressing the thread inward. And the Teflon tape may not demand as it was with what was marked in red.

    If you do not like hemp and Teflon - you are left with: glue or thread string (recently fashionable in supermarkets).

    Any specific glue? Because it is intended for pipes from PLN 100 from what I have seen.

    In supermarkets, 10g tubes are 15/20 zeta and they are perfectly fine.

    A tube of 5- 10 grams is enough for one thread.

    There is no loctite 5776 on the Allegro as it is loctite 577 for 50 PLN and loctite 5776 is available as mentioned before from 100 PLN Link
    Well, unless it's the same as I doubt. Maybe similar but not the same.

    It does not have to be Loctite - just anaerobic glue (many manufacturers) and from the weak or medium series (I use the blue drei bond also for pneumatics), do not use strong ones because if you have to unscrew it, you will soon break the 10/50 gram containers (for all or marketach techniqolla) at 10/20 zeta.

    I bought some regular castorama thread glue and it actually works, nothing lets through. Thanks for the advice
