This will fill all the imperfections between the threads, and prevent leaks. But using the tape is easier said than done. Oatey’s Master Plumber answers common questions about PTFE tape to help you apply it right every time. The male threads look good and the pipe threads into the female fitting smoothly - do I even need PTFE tape? Yes. Because pipe threads are cut from dies, they may not be as perfect as they appear. Over time, the dies become worn and small imperfections will increase with each thread that is cut into the pipe. This wear and tear will create inconsistent thread cuts and ultimately lead to leaks. Thread tape fills in these imperfections, as well as imperfections from when the crest (top) of the thread is damaged during shipping, stocking or handling before assembly is completed. Thread sealant tape is a great option to eliminate leak paths anytime you mechanically join pipes. Once applied, it will last the life of the pipe ProductSiteLaunchDate : 2019-11-13T08:00:00.000Z Size : 16 Ounce (2-Pack) with Quick Stop Straw StreetDate : 2017-06-14T00:00:01Z Style : Compact SupplierDeclaredDgHzRegulation : not_applicable SurfaceRecommendation : Metal UnitCount : 1 WaterResistanceLevel : waterproof
