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.
A sealant should be used that is compatible with the material of the fittings. Teflon paste, pipe dope, and too much Teflon tape should not be used as this creates bulk which will create more stress and may lubricate fittings causing you to over tighten them. If Teflon tape is used it should not be more then 2.5 mil thick and care should be taken not to over tighten threaded joints.
