Putting pipe dope on the threads does not help make the washer seal any better in a slip joint connection. Here's why:
In a slip joint, the seal primarily comes from the rubber gasket, not the threads. The gasket compresses against the flange when the slip joint nut is tightened, creating a watertight seal.
The threads in a slip joint do not directly come into contact with water. They are used to secure the connection and ensure proper positioning of the gasket.
