[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 767623, member: 2383"] I was referring more to the valves on aftermarket equipment. I know of several mfg's that will void the warranty on their valves or other components if traces of pipe tape are found in the malfunctioning unit. When the company I work for sent me to trade school, the instructor made a point to instill in us that teflon tape is for lubricating purposes only - it helps the pipe thread further engage into each other. The liquid dope is primarily for sealing although it lubricates also. That being said, half the mechanics here use tape and dope, whatever floats your boat. All of this applies to tapered pipe threads, swages and other fittings are a whole nother ball game. [/QUOTE]
