Could ptfe be used around a compression olive as its that that should create the seal ?

@rocketrider1405 7 лет назад

The over-the-shoulder view really works for me. This has got to be the best video on RU-vid that demonstrates how to apply thread seal tape.

@damienpeckham2834 3 года назад

A much needed video to have here on RU-vid! Clear. Concise. Light hearted. If only I'd seen it when I started working with ptfe.. mentors would show me so fast that I was left to work it out.

Not only are you hilarious but this video and your one on replacing an outdoor tap made it easy for me. Soon I'll be doing it on my treadmill. Can't play the drums though. Nevermind!

@nowthenad3286 2 года назад

This is my favourite one of your videos, so far. Funny! But not just that, you have solved the PTFE question that I have been struggling to get my head around - which way to wrap it so the tightening of the nut works with it. Thank you.

@simpleliving-bulgaria4787 5 лет назад

Oh love your videos. You always make me laugh. This helped me so much. No, I'm not a professional plumber but I am renovating my house on my own. Your info is pure gold. Awesome drumming there James!! 😉😊

@Sophie-wp9wi 6 лет назад

You managed to make a video about PTFE tape entertaining, i'm impressed!! I had a PTFE tape fail before I watched this!

@michaelhorseman1106 Год назад

I knew nothing about plumbing until today when my garden tap broke (valve) Thanks to your videos I've been able to replace it myself and save some much-needed money on a call out. Thanks for your help.

@kinkyking 4 года назад

@christopliss9947 6 лет назад

Mate... you made using boring PFTE such fun... you are not a bad drummer either! You are a natural!

@andrewaddison2222 8 лет назад

@davidfarquhar3917 3 года назад

Great video well explained. I've used this technique to replace an outside tap but it is leaking slightly where the tape is. Should I just put more on and try again?

@frankholehouse1393 3 года назад

Do you wrap the PTFE around the Olive?.

@gedofgont1006 2 года назад

This guy is wayyyy funnier than most so-called comedians being paid for their efforts, these days. He's an alright plumber too. 😋

@I000I 10 лет назад

Hi! What do you think about Tangit Uni-Lock instead of using PTEF tape?

@rolfpoelman3486 2 года назад

2:12 Putting the left thumb on the tape against the tap outside the thread is so helpful to stop the tape sliding around the tap thread.

@thechrissyb 10 лет назад

Nice toothed rad tail thread as well. Why I'm watching how to do this i have no idea. Nice to see someone showing the right way to do it though. Great job.

@truthbetold818 6 лет назад

I need to ptfe under a sink, the pipe is attached to the tap, and there is no space to wind the ptfe with the spool...help please

@raatidfiahmartial2151 5 лет назад

What's that tune playing in the background when your PTFEing on the treadmill?

@thomasjames8457 3 года назад

Daft question. When is it wound around the thread and when do you make a washer out of the tape?

@dale7561 3 года назад

Serious question. How much PTFE is too much PTFE? I am installing some taps and cant get rid of annoying drip so I have had to put a s**t load on. Is there any problem?

@goosecouple 9 лет назад

looks like good technique.

@plummetplum 5 месяцев назад

But do you PTFE the thread of a compression joint or the olive?

@emanalbar 9 лет назад

ahahahahaha, you're so funny. i like your videos. this one made me laugh so much..ahahahahahaha.

@plumberparts 10 лет назад

@jordancorey 9 лет назад

Hi, what about putting the tape on a tap that is on a sink and you have to struggle to get underneath. How do you put it on correctly in this situation. Could you do a video showing that please. Or on any pipe that is close to a wall. Cheers

@plumberparts 9 лет назад

Added to the list!

@vzmol Год назад

Oh I'm struggling so much with the fittings! That's why I'm here... Been doing the tape over and over, screwing it on and off, on and off, on and off. Trying different amounts of tape, screwing it tightly as is could - still leaked. So frustrating

@derekgraves7554 2 года назад

brilliant video, hilarious! If you do my PTFE i can do your garden :)

@MyAfricanCichlidTank 10 лет назад

hello there, i was wondering if you could cover x dimensions, how to cut pipe the right lenght. cheers great vids btw.

@plumberparts 10 лет назад

It's now in the list!

@websurfer1585 4 года назад

Not so easy though when you're having to wrap it onto a leaky radiator valve thread, or a compression olive in situ, with like an inch of space around it? That can drive you quite insane! :)

@jaymareachealee3351 Год назад

Wrap the PTFE on the end of a pencil then. use that to wrap your PTFE on to he olive

@samk1584 7 лет назад

Dumb question. I was taught to do it exactly as you are in this video...7 turns. Now I get the ole..just three...what are you doing? Also, I am just beginning to work with a lot more stainless pipe. Dope...slides out doesn't stick and white slides as well. On the states we have a blue and someone was telling me about a gray tape. Is there a variation I missed whilst in my parental delirium? Some brass seems to act like stainless more as well. I assume it's due to lead free changes. Yeah, took a few years off lol.

@plumberparts 7 лет назад

Dunno mate, have you tried Loctite 55? Enjoy the delirium!

@samk1584 7 лет назад

plumberparts Like it. Use something like that for air already. It stared at me in the store last time, but I grabbed the trusty inexpensive product, costing me a couple hours of redoing as consequence...Unforgiving fail lol. 20 bucks sounds cheap now. Is it a simple heat to remove as well? Any drawbacks with water application like ideal prep?

@ggooaa100 6 лет назад

Where I live we are using plumber's hemp and paste to this day...

@satsumo Год назад

F**king brilliant 🤣

@doctorevil8130 6 лет назад

excellent vid. I wonder what they used before ptfe?

@garryrobson2297 5 лет назад

Boss White and Hemp. As an apprentice (early 1970's) and definitely on the screwed thread on black iron pipework.

@mvkrldjc9142 4 года назад

Hemp or plumbers mate or putty

@XxKillaVenomzxX 10 лет назад

Thanks this will help for college

@plumberparts 10 лет назад

No worries mate!

@TheRealFOSFOR 6 лет назад

I wonder what you think about ppl putting tape and loctite 5776 on the same thread.. like first roll some tape on and then smear that "glue" on top... I think that's just stupid!

@1979aib 10 лет назад

Definitely holding the PTFE tight!

@plumberparts 10 лет назад

Boom!

@jothain 10 лет назад

Good vid, but it would been maybe good to mention that there's few thiknesses of tape sold. Doing seven wraps on thicker tapes might even crack your smaller fittings :)

@suzannemarshall8356 8 лет назад

Quality uploads . . . .mdpe can it be used underground for about 20ft from an existing outside cold water tap . . . . To supply an out building . I'm a bricky who is doing a small scheme and thought about digging a channel . . . Laying polypipe and leaving the rest to the plumber .......what do you reckon fella ? Or is it a piece of piss to use the push stuff .... Cheers mucka

@plumberparts 8 лет назад

Use the mdpe. Good luck!

@Benzknees 3 года назад

How do you PTFE your walls if you have a noisy neighbour?

@lauraburford6969 9 лет назад

Hi. How can you tell which way the thread is going to ensure you put the PTFE tape on the correct way? - I am fixing a new garden tap to existing pipework. Does the thread always go in the same direction? Thx

@tommynorton7935 6 лет назад

when you are tightning you screw clockwise -so when you put the tape on-the thread you put it on clockwise..

@taitlawrence 10 лет назад

Now really blow people's minds by showing them the screwdriver wraparound trick of how to PTFE when there is no space to fit the roll around the thread.... HOLD TIGHT !

@greygoosemafia 10 лет назад

Id never put 7 wraps. Insane! Just enough to cover the threads and wrap it in the same direction your fitting is screwing on

@stephenc4161 3 года назад

I've now heard 10 turns, 8, 7 and 3. Is the truth out there ? Please tell !

@plumberparts 6 лет назад

I for some reason count to 10 now....but it changes with the wind!

@eqisoftcom 6 лет назад

I'll need to seal a 1 inch thread that goes into a booster pump. The connection (without a sealant) is quite loose so I guess I'll have to use at least 20 turns!

@rolfpoelman3486 2 года назад

Admission: I had too much difficulty just trying to copy your advice on which way to hold the tape roll. Geez. Maybe I am losing it. Or have already.
