A fair amount of threaded connections that we made, have leaked, and I learned that I need to use more tape. So when I do a connection, I wrap it 10-20 times. But people say you wrap it like 3-5 times! And I consume a lot of expensive tape.
How much tape should I be using? One source said that you should wrap it until the threads are barely visible through it, which is what I do; I wrap it until it is bulgy. 3-5 warps won't do that; you see the threads sharply through it.
How many times do you wrap it?
(BTW, I mostly do 3/4 pipe threads.)
