How to apply teflon tape to a threaded piece of pipe.

Appling teflon tape is a very simple procedure.  A little tip when it comes to the tape itself is to spend the extra few cents and get the better grade.  If teflon is sent with your purchase of a plumbing part; chances are it is very thin and that twice the amount of teflon should be applied.  I recommend about 5 revolutions should be applied if it is of good quality.  I call good quality being 4 millimetres thick.  This will save you time and  headaches down the road.

Good luck and have a good day.....leave a question if you wish
