What type of compound should be used on the ball float nipple when installing the Phil-Tite Phase 1 System?

When installing the Phil-Tite Phase 1 System, utilizing a gas-resistant pipe compound is crucial due to the specific requirements of vapor recovery systems. Gas-resistant compounds are formulated to withstand exposure to hydrocarbons and other volatile substances that may be present in fuel vapor. This ensures that the connection remains sealed and effective over time, preventing leaks that could compromise the functionality of the vapor recovery system and pose environmental and safety risks.

In the context of vapor recovery systems, using a compound that can effectively resist chemical degradation from gasoline vapors is essential. Other options may not provide the necessary level of protection against the harsh conditions encountered in these systems, potentially leading to failure of the connections and inefficient vapor recovery.
