How to use RS Pro PTFE Tape

• Wrap the tape in the direction of the threaded spiral of the male thread, always beginning with the first thread. Wrapping the wrong way may result in it coming unwound as you tighten the fitting. Do not overhang the tape

• Keep the edge of the tape parallel to the face of the fitting and wrap all the threads

• When you have wrapped enough tape around, cut or tear of the excess

• Press firmly to ensure the tape lies flat

• Tighten the male end connection into the female end connection
