Emergency Ph, ' �er Page 2 of 2 <br />How many time should the Polytetrafluoroethylene go <br />around a radiator thread? <br />Putting PTFE around a thread is normally picked up when a plumber does his plumbing <br />apprentice. Some plumbers would go around about 12 times and quiet often are called <br />back to leaks. Some would go around twice the amount and break what ever there going <br />into. As long as this is a normal plumber's Polytetrafluoroethylene then the best <br />amount of times to go around would be 18 times. PTFE also comes in a paste form <br />where compounds can also be added for extra protection. <br />Can PTFE be used on Gas? <br />There is also a Gas PTFE, which is about 3 times thicker, but is also more expensive due <br />to the extra quality. <br />Can PTFE be used to wrap around pipe to stop leaky pipes? <br />Wrapping PTFE may slow the leak down on the pipe if there is no pressure in the water, <br />but will not stop the water leak, as this is another mistake that people do when trying to <br />stop a water leak, which include other type of sealants such as silicone. In most cases <br />this results in the customer looking around for emergency plumbers. <br />G* Like 2 Tweet <br />p^r <br />Useful Links <br />EMERGENCY Home Information <br />Plumber Questions <br />Gas Safe Blog <br />Emergency Plumber © 2010 - 2016 © All Rights Reserved Contact Sitemap Terms & Conditions Us POI O <br />https://www.emergencyplumber.uk.com/plumbing/ptfe/ 8/3/2017 <br />
