Eli5: Teflon Tape direction

557 views

I get very confused which this. People say they wrap it in the direction the pipe will turn “clockwise”, although almost all of them are putting it on counter-clockwise. is it just because its a flipped image? If the threads face away from me and I wrap the tape in the direction i will turn the fitting righty tighty/clockwise, that seems to be incorrect. hopefully someone can give me something concrete to understand this with.

Just dont copy my dad in law with his ‘the more teflon tape the better’. He will put as much tape on it, that he needs all of his strength to put it back together.
