@livin.lost: Thread tape seems simple, but wrapping it the wrong way can cause leaks. Here’s the quick method plumbers use so fittings seal tight the first time. Perfect tip for homeowners doing small plumbing repairs. Save this for the next time you're working on threaded fittings. #plumbing #homeowner #fyp #moneysavingtips #tips #DIY

Old school plumber told me 7 wraps was the correct way…I’m not trying to correct you just being respectful

If you flip the teflon but still wrap the same way, it creates more tension and is easier to wrap

Your spinning your tape off the reel backwards easier to keep tension on the tape when holding the reel the other way

Wrap the tape the SAME direction the fitting tightens (clockwise 99% of the time). If it unravels while tightening, you wrapped it backwards 👍 Follow for more quick homeowner tool tips and fixes 🔧

My Trade school says it’s 4 wraps from the end towards the pipe and 4 more from the end of the tread to the end

Then you take the edge of the tape spool and follow the groove of the threads…
