Several items I see, first by having the tape extend past the threads you run the risk of having the system contaminated by the debris coming off, especially if you are working on a truck air system . Second, have the threads of the fitting come out of your hand by your thumb with the tape in your other hand on whichever finger is comfortable with the tape coming off the bottom of the roll. Wrap the tape over the top following the direction of your fingers. It's easier to pull the tape tight. I start about 2 threads back from the end and on the 2nd wrap I'll move closer to the end, but not past. I'm a heavy truck/trash truck mechanic with lots of air system and hydraulic systems for the last 45 years. If I had 5$ for every roll I've used I'd be wealthy.

I agree with Cbmech. I'm a retired hydraulic system design engineer so when our prints went out to the shop floor, a note was always included to NOT wrap the Teflon tape over the end of the fitting/pipe. As the fitting is tightened inside the female fitting, any tape over the end of the fitting can be cut loose and end up in the hydraulic fluid stream. This is very problematic for downstream valves, especially close tolerance valves. And devastating for servo valves typical on CNC machine tools and close tolerance actuators.

I am an amature DIY'er and a couple of days ago a leek sprung in some really ancient under the counter taps from the threaded nuts. I had to apply what we call in England PTFE tape (same thing as the white tape in this video). Because of the restricted positions of my taps I had a real struggle getting the tape on cleanly because it kept seperating and also bunching into almost string like. It took a few attempts. Working vertically with those taps because this is how they are positioned I basically looked at the direction of the nut as it would be tightened and I ran the tape in the same direction. Yes it it clockwise but when upside down it appears anti clockwise. Does my head in. So I would say, wrap in the same direction the nut goes on. My pennies worth. Great video and funny how KZread recommended it two days after my flood. Someone is listening in, but I don't mind when it comes to tutorials like these.

@ralphcrawford9741

Жыл бұрын

B Thomas is correct but not explicit. Masterflow wrapped both the blue and white correctly clockwise on the pipe, but with the white had the tape roll reversed on his finger. Often you hold the pipe still, or it is already installed, and you use your "spool holding" finger to wrap the tape around the pipe (instead of rolling the pipe). You have to "brake" the spool with your thumb and fingers of the winding hand as you wind to keep the proper tension on the wrap. If you hold the tape spool as in the white application, the tape unrolls too fast, is difficult to brake, and the spool gets awkwardly farther from the pipe with each turn. Holding it as done with the blue in this video, each wrap of your hand winds the tape back onto the spool as well which you can then easily release as necessary by loosening your "brake" to keep the proper tension, "paying out" just the right amount of tape, which is especially helpful in cramped installations. Agreed, it's surprising how many professionals have not discovered this difference. Since plumbing pipe threads are tapered, the thickness of the tape vs other sealers generally doesn't matter, the threads just don't screw as far in, unless you are not getting enough turns because of improper thread cutting. As you mentioned, I don't like the tape overlapping into the flow area because often the connection cuts the overhanging tape and it ends up stuck somewhere down the line. If your wraps have not sealed the joint, the overlap wedging into the first thread probably won't make much difference and the risk of a clog seems like a risk, with little, if any, return, that one doesn't need to take. Thanks for posting. This discussion will surely help many.
