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.
The tape helps lubricate the threads and improves the seal. Threaded joints where the pipe is not tapered (parallel threads) employ a gasket or washer to make the seal (such as on a union joint), in those cases, the tape serves no purpose, as the seal is made with the gasket, not the threads.o quote wikipedia.com: Commonly known as  Teflon tape, PTFE tape, tape dope, or  plumber's tape â is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film cut to specified widths for use in sealing pipe threads. The tape is wrapped around the exposed threads of a pipe before it is screwed into place.
