Is it acceptable to use pipe dope on the male threads where the union comes together (I bet theres a nice name for that)? I've read not to put dope on the center faces of the union, but haven't been able to figure out about the threads. I see the unions in place in my basement have all three connections doped, but I thought I remembered reading somewhere not to dope the center threads.
I don't fully trust that what was done before in my basement is correct, so can someone confirm which is the correct way?
Also, currently there are no drip legs on the lines for my dryer or stove. Are they advised for these appliances? The furnace and water heater have them.
Thank you.
