I wanted to get loctite for the 90* elbow gas fittings. What I wanted to know is What kind do I use for elbow gas fittings and where can I get loctite.

Dont use Loctite on any of the airline fittings, it wont give you a sealed seal around the threads, use teflon tape.
Do not steal....the government hates competition!

I can't use teflon tape on a Timmy..well I can but its not reccomended. I don't have the owners manual right here infront of me but I think it said something like (do not use any teflon tape on gas fittings. pieces of teflon tape could break off and destory the solnoid.)

Uh, loctite works just as well as teflon...I use it on my SS hose...

Go for the weak stuff.

You can get it at your proshop, Home Depot, ACE hardware, etc...

Ok thanks that link helped alot. I did some searching and I found a few places that sell loctite. After reading that stuff from warpig I was thinking of how much I have to put on. Like it said to much can do more harm then good and to little won't help either.
