Ok, so its a fire truck themed party, he is turning 2, his name is Tatum. And, we want the kids (all different ages) to bring a bathing suit b/c we are going to put out fires with the hose and let the kids run through the water on our driveway. I want to incorporate that into some kind of rhyme, but I'm stumped. I would love to hear some suggestions!
im a plumber and we DON T ever use teflon tape on any gas fittings. over time the gas eats away the tape so if u made the seal with teflon tape it will leak over time. just use pipe dope, no tape, even the yellow tape
You can use it, but it isn't the correct way. It's the same with hydraulics as well. You are not supposed to use teflon tape with hydraulic fittings either. But, most people I know do it anyways. Like the earlier answer said, if someone will inspect it, do it the right way. If not, you will likely be ok with regular teflon tape.
if there was a fire they would go outside but why would they fight still!Your a confusing man!
Teflon tape will work, but personally I like the teflon filled joint compound better. I think it is more secure for this purpose. With any method, you will want to leak test carefully when finished. Do this with a soft brush and a soap solution, use about a cap full (1/2 teaspoon) of dishwashing detergent like dawn in a cup of water. Brush it over the joints and watch- any bubbles that form and grow are proof of a leak. The problem with leaks in iron pipe is that as you tighten one end of a pipe you loosen the other at the next joint, so one leak can have you reworking several joints.
You are supposed to use yellow teflon tape for gas, not the usual white. The yellow tape is heavier. However, a lot of people do use the white tape with no problem. If the job is being inspected, better use pipe dope or yellow tape.
