Question 1

I plan to use this for my garden hose. Can I use this on the faucet to prevent leak and remove the hose in the winter?

Accepted Answer

If you have a problem with a garden hose faucet leaking during the winter, it might be better to install a frost-free faucet. There are also winter faucet insulation covers...

Question 2

Which is correct? The text description on the page says 150m and the product label says 160m.

Accepted Answer

Loctite is a reputable company. I imagine that, since it is labeled on the product as 160m, that it is 160m...  
Who in their right mind would ever actually  unravel the cord and then measure it, I wouldn't want to know.

But, the practical answer for most homeowners is "More Than Enuff". It will last most people for several years. Mostly just use it on Brass fittings, which can be finicky. Teflon tape is all that I've ever needed for PVC pipe threads. My own experience is that It's great stuff, just put it on correctly (wrap it in the direction against the threads-not with the threads-starting at the end of the pipe, don't overdo it) and it will work every time.

Question 3

Since you can back off the fitting and not leak can you take a fitting completely off and back on without leaks?

Accepted Answer

You definitely can, but you'll be reapplying the new tape at this point

Question 4

What is the expiry date of this item?

Accepted Answer

Dear Customer

Each packaging has a different batch number and each batch number has a different expiration date.

Each Loctite 55 Pipe Sealing Thread Cord has an expiration date of 5 years from the date of its manufacturing.

If you will buy from your very own seller named "Krish Commerce USA" then you would get the product with the Expiration date on or after Feb 2025 or as we continuously refill the stock so you might receive the product with a later expiration date as well.

Best Regards
