I certainly posted to thaqt thread several times. However, I just remembered that about 10 or 15 years ago, I was really stupid and split the female threaded boss on the bottom of a GPS antenna by putting a layer ot two of Tellon tape onto a Male PVC fitting. That 'lubricated' the joint enough that when I HAND TIGHTNED it, the threaded boss on the antenna split.
Wish I'd checked whether the thread was tapered or not. -John ========== [snip] A short section of the "plumbing" was helpful, although it > got a bit out of hand.
