Apply Pipe Dope to New Fitting

What happens here

Before installing the new angle stop, apply a small amount of pipe thread sealant (pipe dope) to the male threads of the valve body. While compression fittings rely on the ferrule for their seal and don't strictly require dope, it provides an additional layer of protection against leaks and helps lubricate the threads, making future removal easier. The video shows the demonstrator placing the nut on his finger to apply the dope efficiently.

Goal: Apply pipe thread sealant to the threads of the new compression angle stop to aid in sealing and prevent seizing.
