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.
Teflon tape will work, but personally I like the teflon filled joint compound better. I think it is more secure for this purpose. With any method, you will want to leak test carefully when finished. Do this with a soft brush and a soap solution, use about a cap full (1/2 teaspoon) of dishwashing detergent like dawn in a cup of water.
