Don’t Overapply: Excessive tape can cause difficulty in tightening the fitting properly.
Use the Right Tape: There are different types of thread tapes for different applications (e.g., gas-rated or water-rated). Ensure you’re using the correct one for your specific task.
Check for Leaks: After installation, always check the connection for leaks, especially in high-pressure systems. If leaks occur, you may need to reapply the tape or check if the threads are damaged.
