<p class="MsoNormal">I was taught and still DON’T use
Teflon tape on gases. Southern California Gas Co. was
adamant against for all the reasons people have
mentioned here. A run away gas valve on a furnace, water
heater, whatever due to a hunk of tape stuck on a seat
isn’t a pretty thought. Rare as it was, it was enough
for me to only use on liquids. Actually Teflon, applied
as per one previous poster, starting two threads back
coupled with Teflon pipe dope has been what I and most
of the pro plumbers I’m around use. As one who did
commercial refrigeration service for decades, you’d be
amazed at what I’ve seen people use. Like an entire roll
on 1, ¾” PVC fitting. <span
