How to Hemp & Paste a Joint, Old School Plumbing

Amateur

I do industrial plumbing heating and sprinkler systems. There is nothing wrong with what you are doing. I have learned down through the years that there is more than one way to do a particular job. you can score the pipe thread anyway you want. the end result is to make sure the hemp stays in place, You took the time and effort to post a video so well done you.

Thanks…great job!

The problem i have with hemp is i can never fix say a fosset or an angle valve in the right position (90 degree). Im always lacking half a turn or quarter turn or so. If i put it in the right position, it is not tight enough and i cannot do one more turn. Any tips on how to handle this ?
