1. Re: LAX- how much time should I allow between flights??? First off, LAX has 8 terminals, number 1 through 7, plus the Tom Bradley International Terminal, sometimes referred to as TBIT, or Terminal 3.5, as it is located between terminals 3 and 4.
Tips & Warnings. 1  If you have problems attaching the fitting and you need to unscrew it and try again, don't use the same teflon tape that's already on the pipe, as it will be torn and balling up. 2  Run your thumb and forefinger around the thread counter-clockwise to pull off the tape, then re-apply a new piece.
If the Teflon leading edge is tight with the thread, it will usually not matter. If only matters when the Teflon is not tight or smooth. In cases where I need to use Teflon (very rare) I get a thread grove and flatten the Teflon in the direction of the thread. But again that is really beside the point.
