I should have been more clear. The systems where I typically see Teflon used are water systems (either automotive or household plumbing) and pneumatic systems where the tape is used on a tapered male thread. In those cases, the male thread could be tightened without the Teflon tape, in many cases without leaks.
The alternative is to use pipe dope, a paste type material which also seals and lubricates, allowing for a tighter joint. There is also a another variety of thread seal tape that is yellow. The yellow tape is heavier and is for use on gas line connections. Never use regular, white, Teflon tape on gas connections.Caution: Please read our safety information before attempting any testing or repairs. Use of PTFE Teflon tape does not guarantee a leak free connection. Always inspect connections, with water pressure, for leaks before sealing them from access.ever use regular, white, Teflon tape on gas connections.
