I am playing from memory which is dangerous grounds for making a
statement. Their installation guide should have all that on it. I
don't remember Gary Johnson saying why not to combine the two. I
believe over-torquing was also an issue.

Do you know what the reasoning was for no tape and dope

Subject: Re: survey pipe dope vs teflon tape
Following a stint of leaking CPVC systems (mostly in PA it seemed)
which
were using antifeeze, Noveon (BF Goodrich still sounds right) studied
it. Besides having BFP's with no expansion chambers, they
specified the
needed taping amount (all tapes are not the same
thickness) and more importantly said don't tape and dope. Just say
no.

I am just curious as to how many companies are using ONLY teflon tape
now.
Anybody having succes with plastic head adaptors (brass insert) not
leaking when using only teflon?
Thanks,
Greg
