  • Will Lucas 6800 Single Ply Adhesive Work With LaSalle Bristol XTRM PVC RV Roof Membranes
  • The LaSalle Bristol XTRM PVC RV Roof Membrane # 3441700534142711435 is a PVC membrane and the Lucas 6800 Single Ply Adhesive states that it works with TPO, EPDM and PVC roofing so you it should be a compatible adhesive.

  • Can Loctite Thread Sealant 545 be Used with Potable Water Systems
  • Loctite Thread Sealant 545 # LT37482 is not designed for potable water systems and should not be used. There are chemicals in it that can be harmful if ingested. If joining copper pipes I recommend using solder to join non-threaded pieces and thread seal tape such as # A05-0265 on the threads of threaded pieces. Plumbers dope can be used on the plastic PVC-like pipes; available at hardware stores. If the PVC pipes are not threaded you should use primer and the appropriate adhesive for joining...

  • How To Install The LaSalle Bristol Cable-Actuated RV Waste Valve
  • The abs cement isn't going to come loose and will require you to cut the pipe a bit further back and using a coupling # D50-2935 and more straight pipe to get back to where it originally sat for the valve. That being said, you can also just unbolt the valve from the flanges and do the same with the # 34466N4AB36GM you were looking at, swap it in, and bolt it in place with the old flanges. I've attached a video below where I did this with a double waste valve to help walk you through the...

  • The TremPro 644 Silicone Sealant # 0160297 that you referenced is an ideal product for repairing leaks in a trailer roof.

You definitely want to remove the old sealer and thoroughly clean the surface to be sealed. A putty knife works for large bits and steel wool can be used to remove the small residue. The cleaner the surface is...

  • Recommended Slide-Out Roof Repair Kit And Installation Video
  • Most slides have EPDM rubber roofs but because EPDM is rubber it requires treatment each year to keep it soft and prevent shrinkage. You could replace it with TPO which is another synthetic rubber that will last longer than the EPDM. The smallest roll we carry is the Alpha Systems Superflex TPO RV Roof Membrane - White - 67-1/2 Sqft Item # AL68CV which can be cut to fit and you'll need some adhesive # AL27CV and sealant # AL28KV to install it. The same PVC membrane that you would use...

  • Available Truck Tailgate Seal Products
  • The TruXedo Universal Tailgate TruxSeal # TX1703206 is a one-size-fits-all kit. It is not intended to work on any specific brand or model of truck nor with any particular combination of features. TruxSeal # TX1703206 includes self-adhesive tape to adhere the foam to the vehicle but a spray-on liner's textured surface may not provide an ideal grip.

Ultra-fab...
