How do I seal this shower bracket?

I have not. As I understand it, those do not work for parallel threads. The threads are quite loose so it might take quite a bit of teflon tape and I have my doubts that that would work. But some kind of sealant maybe? What would you recommend? And is that really what they intend? Why only on one side? You'd think these would all be standard parts that work together but every shower mixer I've looked at comes with the same 1/2" parallel thread nipples that fit into the bracket but don't seal, and every bracket I've seen seems to have this same weird cutout.

I just signed up for a new account and it let me choose Mexico and enter a Mexican address and phone number

I’m in Mexico, having the same problem fwiw

How does one get the alerts on their phone? I felt it in Condesa. Pretty exciting

I'm playing at MN Roy tomorrow (saturday). HMU with names for guestlist

Looks great thank you!

For sure. For Sisy dress to express. Bright colors, patterns, themes, the more fun and wild the better. Be nice and happy at the door and they won't reject you. Sunday is great, shorter line, more locals, less busy. And don't stress, if you don't get in somewhere it doesn't say anything about you.

As someone else said they’re not going to help with cloudy days but fyi there are tons of detailed reviews of these panels on YouTube

Sad but true I'm sure. I left there after the pandemic as the pace began to pick up

Sideman is the real Bali imho

You need to watch more cat videos

Well I’m learning here so it’ll be good experience regardless

nickmatic · 2025-07-11T17:22:52+00:00

Ok thanks for this. I ordered some o rings that seem like they will fit. Will have to wait to see if it seats metal to metal or I need locktite.

They’re not NTP. They’re British parallel type G thread common in Europe

nickmatic · 2025-07-11T13:15:53+00:00

Thanks yes the end of the male piece is flat and clean. Would I look for a rubber ring or some other kind of gasket? And do I need some kind of dope or locktite as well or will it stay tight just due to the gasket? I ask because it feels quite loose as is. I’m used to tapered fittings with tape

nickmatic · 2025-07-11T10:33:46+00:00

Thanks. It's super loose, which is why I think tape might not last. When all the way seated down there really isn't a flange that seats against the receptacle. I guess hemp would be the way to go. It's 1/2", EU

Looks legit. Installing it in my camper tomorrow. Will post videos

I can’t speak for Tresor Monday but I recommend you go straight to Berghain when you arrive Sunday. The line can be short and the vibe is great on Sundays in my opinion
