Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws
Wow a 10 page thread about thread tape on a compression fitting, dunno what's worse this thread or me reading all of it, LOL, a simple answer to all is, each to their own. Can I start a thread, What do you put on your radiator tails?? PTFE, PTFE & Paste?? How many wraps of PTFE??
Why not forget the tape an paste and use self sealing tails ?
Isn't that oil based that paste?U wont go back to anything else keefy! That stuff is gold dust! Ive even used it a few times on traps that havent sealed and wouldnt seal dry for some reason (not McAlpine traps)
so you go with liquid ptfe then???? LOL 🙂yes you can start a thread. just dont wrap tape round it....
I know this topic title doesn't have it but there are only 16 threads (no pun intended) with 'PTFE' in the title here on the forums, was expecting hundreds. Probably thousands in the GSR private forum.
went and done it today all done no paste tho:6:
But its beer money for the evening :8:
????? my head hurts????
dont forget to sit in the loft for 40 mins tapping on a pipe every few minutes
