And then, if you really want to save yourself some trouble, put the tape on, then smear a little pipe sealant on it as well, the two combined really help to seal up water connections, especially plastic to metal threads, and also, will prevent down the road seepage if you’ve ever seen water deposits on threaded fittings, that’s a real slow leak, but evaporates before it can drip. The more you know…..
Yes it is plumbers day. Thank you for all the plumbers out there that get down and dirty and do the jobs that most of us wouldn’t.

I learnt just the other day, that when you put plastic compression coupling and metal shut offs together to use Teflon tape and pipe dope on the cold side. They leak every time at both male and female threaded ends.

I’ll look. If not I’ll take a pic of one Monday. It’s on a trailer I was working on. I can’t think of the name of that gray pipe on trailers. Quest. That’s it. 3\8. Zoom in on the pick. There about the same as shark bite

Ok I think I see it, you had plastic and metal threads together like you were explaining, well, now you know for next time.
Qest pipe is type c pex, which has been banned for quite a few years now, although you can still get the fittings. But even then, they will crack and fail after years

Yea I don’t like that quest pipe.
