In Los Angeles on a high-rise building, we had a field inspector cite NFPA 13, 6-5.1.3 (2002) as meaning we could use tape OR compound on pipe NOT both. Does anyone out there believe this is the intent of the code? Or do you think the point of this passage is to NOT put these items on the female threads?
