Thanks man. People like you make life a lot easier for those of us who grew up without a dad.

This is absolutely the correct way to install Tape. A video this consice and accurate has no business on the internet.
@johanvanniekerk6945
Wrong. You apply it like this and then it leaks. Then you do it exactly the same way again and it work
@firejoe283
I had an idea because it's ALMOST common sense, but also, I've never done it before. I wanted to double-check. Should've paid more attention to how my dad did things when he was here. Thanks, man!
@timriggs8651
You should have specified you were taping a pipe for gas. You don't want to use tape specifically made for gas on a pipe carrying water, or vice-versa.
@dh3940
Here’s my tip, if the thread is facing your right side, then roll away from you, if the thread is facing your left side, roll towards your body. This is what helped me never go the wrong direction with tape
@kele1264
Thank you! I needed this for a leaky shower head!
@22beepbeep22
Not only that when you go to tighten anything on it, it’s gonna spin the same way so it will pull some of it off making it ineffective
@chiffonkek2
Great, no nonsense video tutorial on Teflon tape. Love this vid!
@stephensellers2453
These simple videos on simple things like this help more people than you know
@K70.30
Great 👍🏻 keep on mind, that you need to wind it in the same direction as you screw the other part on. Otherwise it will gunk up eventually
@isaiahhesslup8463
Thank you very much and thank you very much for your Ministry!
@tx_wr4ngler379
I do that with brass fitting to sch80 pipe threads Helps prevent cross treading
@BayouTottedHue
so easy and to the point. It worked!
@vince6829
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
@BackYardScience2000
If you're using thread tape to seal a jar that the original seal has went bad or just a container of some kind with a lid that needs a seal, you can add the tape to the top threads and let it hang ever so slightly over the edge to form a seal for the lid as you tighten it down. But yeah, don't do this with pipes, like he says. Lol
@karlmiller7500
I go one thread back, and one single wrap only, otherwise it will just roll off when you tighten into the fitting. I use more wraps in a pinch when there is loose or damaged threads
@evankamminga4321
Also it can only be applied clockwise on the threads or it will unravel itself whilst your tightening it into the fitting
@tristankordek
WOW it came out pretty clean
