Installation Instructions Installation Video
  1. Clean the pipe or faucet threads before applying tape.
  2. Start wrapping at the very end of the pipe or faucet. Do not let the tape lap over the end.
  3. Start with a couple of loops around the end, then wrap all the threads, overlapping half the width of the tape on each wind.
  4. As you wrap, keep tension on the tape so it is pulled into the threads.
