1. Re: LAX- how much time should I allow between flights??? First off, LAX has 8 terminals, number 1 through 7, plus the Tom Bradley International Terminal, sometimes referred to as TBIT, or Terminal 3.5, as it is located between terminals 3 and 4.
Tips & Warnings. 1  If you have problems attaching the fitting and you need to unscrew it and try again, don't use the same teflon tape that's already on the pipe, as it will be torn and balling up. 2  Run your thumb and forefinger around the thread counter-clockwise to pull off the tape, then re-apply a new piece.
The correct answer is to use pipe dope the Teflon tape over the pipe dope. Teflon tape is not a sealant of any sort is only a thread lubricant. A true pipe thread sealer is pipe dope. As I just asked a sprinkler fitter why he was pipe doping then Teflon taping all pipe threads and that was the answer he gave me.
