I got a new Pentair 262506 multi port valve for my sand filter. Ther s a big sticker on the valve that says to hand tighten plus one turn and don't use any petroleum based compounds.
The manual it came with says "use sealant on all tapered male connections of pipe and fittings. Use only sealant compounds suited for plastic pipe."
I had gotten some Oatey Great White pipe compound, but the MSDS indicates it has petroleum distillates. The packaging says it's compatible with plastic pipe. Is that the wrong thing to use? Should I use Teflon tape, or something else entirely?
Any advice appreciated!
