Pipe joint compound should be applied to which part of the threads?

  1. Female threads only

  2. Male threads including end threads

  3. Male threads less two end threads

  4. Both male and female threads

The correct answer is: Male threads less two end threads

Pipe joint compound should be applied to the male threads, excluding the last two end threads. Applying the compound to these specific threads ensures a proper seal when connecting the pipes together. It is important to use the joint compound correctly to prevent any leaks or damage to the threaded connections. Therefore, option C is the correct choice in this scenario.
