Weeping at teflon /PTFE brass connection Hello

If it's the same pink tape that we use, it's a lot thicker.

Some people swear by it but I hate the stuff - for the reasons in the photo.
If you use it you should really rough up the thread because it slips and doesn't go into the female thread.

thanks - will rough the thread up as you are correct, it does tend to slip

thanks - in Australia the "quality" tape is pink (when bought at a plumbers merchant)

That's what the suppliers tell you.

Only because they charge about 3 times as much for the pink tape than the standard white tape.


As state previously, I hate the pink tape!
