+1 , and they don't need a lot of torque to achieve a seal. Just remember if you're buying online that they're sized BSP

Because it is only screw grade, it doesn't make the joint hard to undo.
Purple?
From what I recall, most grades of Loctite will interchange to an extent. Technically speaking 569 & 567 are sealers intended for threaded joints, 567 is intended for threaded joints also but it also works well in a face situation, which is what you have I think Hedd? 290 is a wick in grade that has got me out of a 'situation' before, it works very well with pinholes, hairline cracks and weld porosity.
