Thanks, Terry, for the useful advice, which I will follow. I haven't heard about brushing my teeth with plumbers' putty-- but I'm keeping my mind open about Santa at the N. Pole-- at least for my childrens' sake. Best wishes, jzbeaver

To SewerRatz & Gary Swart-- Thanks for your replies. I should have explained by issue better. I do know the difference between plumbers' putty and dope, and was planning to use dope on the threaded metal pipe sections. What I wanted to know was whether there was any reason not to use putty...

I need to attach a PVC trap line to threaded metal fittings at either end, and want to use couplings with tighten ing bands. Is there any reason not to put a bead of plumbers putty at either end of the trap, to create a better seal?
