Chrome Elbow Fittings

Always wind the tape around the thread (or Olive) so the tail (end) of the tape goes the same way as the nut tightens.
Easy to get it wrong when working upside down though!

Put a question mark next to it, do it without thinking so couldn't remember, tried to visualise but no joy! Your right clockwise!

Locktight 55 about 7 to 15 turns then a dollop of jet blue for good measure. Don't keep ptfe in van our shops or stores. Lock tight all the way.

When you roll it on go anticlockwise? So when you thred it in to rad it isn't pushed back. Start one or two threads in and build a nice bulge about 2/3 along nut with locktight.

Anticlockwise just pushes it all off no seal !!

Put enough on no matter what you do it's tight!
