You have to use pipe dope or Teflon tape on the threads before you put it together. Pipe dope should fill the threads and if tape is used, 3-4 layers of tape should be enough.

Can you use a bladder pressure tank even though the bladder is leaking?

If your bladder is damage in any way, your boiler will run but you will have other problems.If your expansion tank is not working, you will be seeing water leaking out of the Pressure Relief Valve when pressure gets around 30psi (most residential boilers). The water may stop dripping when the boiler reaches its highest temperature, but once the boiler starts cooling down, water will start contracting causing low pressure. This will cause the automatic fill valve to let water back into the boiler thus making the water drip out the relief valve again when it heats up.DO NOT shut off the water inlet valve. This could cause high damage or seriously injury if you run out of water.You should replace the tank and also the relief valve to be safe. Call a licenced plumber.


How will the BP oil spill stop leaking?

BP is drilling two relief wells. The wells are intended to intersect the blown out well. Heavy mud will be pumped down at least one of the relief well and will overcome the oil coming out. This will stop the spill. Cement will be pumped down the well so oil will never again flow out of the well.
