Here’s a quick #berkeytip for using your Black Berkey® Elements and securing the wingnut that can sometime “pop” or strip if over tightened.
Grab some PTFE tape (polytetrafluoroethylene film tape) AKA Teflon Tape or “thread seal tape” & simply wrap the threaded stem where the wingnut secures the Element into place.
This will add some “filler” or strength onto the tightening of the wingnut of your Black Berkey® Elements, helping you not to strip the wingnuts and get frustrated!
