Eli5: Teflon Tape direction

563 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 put it on so that it doesn’t bunch up when screwing on the piece of pipe. So generally that would be in the same direction you are tightening the pipe.
