PTFE Tape - How To Use
- Clean the threads of the duct joint you’re going to be applying the PTFE tape to
- Wrap your PTFE sealant tape around the threads
- Start one thread down from the open end, to prevent any scraps of material sheared off during mating from entering the duct
- Wrap in the same descending direction as the threads, working your way back towards the pipe
- As you work your way down the threads, you should overlap the layers of tape by about half their width to ensure full coverage
- As you wrap, pull tightly enough to maintain sufficient tension such that the threads remain clearly visible as defined ridges
- Continue to wrap until you reach about one full wrap past the bottom of the last thread
- Finish the final wrap by cutting & sticking down the final inch or so, making sure no loose tape is left hanging or improperly adhered
