I guess I missed the beginning of this thread, So, could someone tell me if it's okay to use pipe dope on plastic fittings, IE, where the bath tub drain attaches to the plastic threaded fitting under the tub?

That's what it is actually called and it comes in a tube. Since it's for the pool filter, I'd stick with something like that over the silicone sealers. Silicone works great on pipes but not so good if you have to take them apart later. It would work, but you'd have to pick the junk out of the threads before going back together. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lee A.
