Post subject:  Looking for pipe dope

I'm looking for a high temp pipe dope that is/was named GRip (capaitals intentional) which was used years ago in power plants. No luck seaching the web or Thomas Register.

Basically we are looking for a type that hardens for use with steam.

Thanks,
Ray

I have used a pipe dope that will seal even if there is a cut thru the threads. It was made by the Crane Co. and contains powered lead and seals against steam and high pressure water.

We've used a type called Expando, it's a powder you mix with water. Believe me, it hardens. If you want to get the joint back apart, grab the rose bud, the BIG pipe wrench, and the BIG hammer.

I just found out the proper spelling is Grrip which is made by Hercules.

Thanks,
