Bob,
Hemp and Stag B is the stuff for sealing iron pipework. Just made and fitted the pipework to the roller.
Ray,
Those of us who use it regularly, can identify it using mk1 eyeball. Though I did have to resort to the caliper to something I thought was 5/8 BSP I found on my Merryweather steam pump. It wasn't, it was 1inch 14tpi. Using a split die, a jubilee clip, and a stilson I managed to make it 5/8 BSP so the tail and nut I had bought for it in error fitted. Saved a shed load of work in the lathe. The annoying thing was the other male threads were all 1/2 BSP.
