How many wraps of teflon tape on PVC pipe?
When using Teflon tape on PVC pipe threads, it's generally recommended to use 2 to 3 wraps of tape. This amount provides a good seal without making the connection too thick, which could lead to difficulty in tightening the joint.

Can you use Plumbing tape on PVC pipes?
Yes, you can use plumbing tape, also known as Teflon tape, on PVC pipes. It's commonly used to ensure a watertight seal on threaded connections. However, it's essential to use it sparingly and not to wrap too much tape around the threads, as this can interfere with the proper sealing of the joint. For solvent-welded connections, plumbing tape is not necessary and should not be used.
