Pipe Sealing Tape Plumbing

First, apply the tape only to the outer threads.

To ensure a good seal, wrap the tape in a clockwise direction and completely cover the threads.

You only need two or three turns of tape; however, thinner tapes may require four or five turns.

Be careful not to apply too much tape. Excess tape will squeeze out of the joint.

Pull the roll and the tape will break easily.

Because plumber's tape does not require curing time, you can thread the pipe immediately after applying the tape

In the growing world of DIY, it's important to do it right.

Applying duct tape sounds easy, but it can be a fundamental mistake if you're not careful.

Once the threads on the end of the pipe are clean, you're ready to go.

Apply plumber's tape to the second thread from the end of the pipe, holding it in place with your thumb or finger. Lay the tape flat against the threads. Don't let the tape bunch up.

Wrap the tape around the pipe in the opposite direction that the pipe is turning.

Start at the end of the pipe and make sure the tape is wrapped tightly and overlapped as you go.

Finish wrapping from the end of the thread to the other end of the pipe.

You can simply remove the tape by hand and the pipe is connected
