Do you need to wrap the pipe w/ teflon tape when screwing it on?

I had a plumber install the Delta Faucet and he did use teflon tape when screwing it on. My plumber has always used teflon tape on any brand shower head that I have had him install.

Yes. I wrapped to about .75 inches. It dripped slightly initially but quickly sealed and has been fine. Very nice faucet.

It is always a good idea to do that to minimize the risk of any leaks over time.

Yes, it is in the instructions and it's always a good measure to use teflon tape to ensure that there won't be any leaks.

No. It is a seperate piece that clips on to the pole. The wrap then sits on top of the coupler.

Properly tightened with quality gasket should work. Check the mating surface of the valve for smoothness (where it tightens against the gasket). I have used 2 of these valves, and they are flawless. One of the suggestions was thoughtful but incorrect in application (please no offense to Cory. It is great that everyone tries to help). Teflon tape is only to be used on pipe or tapered threads and can only temporarily stop a leak in other applications (if you like, get back to me anytime for details).

Sure, but you will have to let some of the tape hang out of the wrap. Get the shortest length they sell and wrap only part of it on the pipe. For safety reasons the manufacturer asks that you not overlap the tape, so you will only get a little on the faucet, but just that little bit, if inside some insulation and other tape to keep the insulation in place, will keep it from freezing unless you live north of the Arctic Circle.

It was very easy to install; just unscrewed the old shower head and screwed this one on (after wrapping some teflon tape around the wall pipe grooves). I don't remember now if it came with teflon tape or not. I'm pretty sure I used some teflon tape I already had.

I would assume that you would do the same as if it was connected to the shower pipe. Anyway you attach the the shower head after you added Teflon tape to the ball joint assuming it has threads of course and all should be good.

put tape on the fitting and only tighten it till it is facing up.... you don't have top tighten it up so much it will seal

no. the bracket is optional. i did not use one. my install went as planned. my advise: 1. besure to install 3 valves for a by- pass. 2. spend an extra $10 for a pressure gauge since filter body is opaque (not clear). this is installed post filter to monitor pressure differential from line side. helps when to determine filter change time. 3. allow enough bottom clearance to drop filter body and install replacement or install 20 plus inch body and cartridge. 4. use wraps of teflon tape as instructed plus couple additional ( tape is cheap) leaks are not desirable. be sure to use silicone ( vegetable) grease on seal and housing threads so seal doesnt dry outadv no. the bracket is optional. i did not use one. my install went as planned. my advise: 1. besure to install 3 valves for a by- pass. 2. spend an extra $10 for a pressure gauge since filter body is opaque (not clear). this is installed post filter to monitor pressure differential from line side. helps when to determine filter change time. 3. allow enough bottom clearance to drop filter body and install replacement or install 20 plus inch body and cartridge. 4. use wraps of teflon tape as instructed plus couple additional ( tape is cheap) leaks are not desirable. be sure to... » Read More no. the bracket is optional. i did not use one. my install went as planned. my advise: 1. besure to install 3 valves for a by- pass. 2. spend an extra $10 for a pressure gauge since filter body is opaque (not clear). this is installed post filter to monitor pressure differential from line side. helps when to determine filter change time. 3. allow enough bottom clearance to drop filter body and install replacement or install 20 plus inch body and cartridge. 4. use wraps of teflon tape as instructed plus couple additional ( tape is cheap) leaks are not desirable. be sure to use silicone ( vegetable) grease on seal and housing threads so seal doesnt dry outadv « Show Less

All threaded connections have to be sealed with teflon tape. Here's a link: Allstar Performance ALL14282 1/2" x 260' Pipe Thread Tape

No, just twist it around the pipe and used little wire ties to hold it. I then covered it with a self sticking insulation from a ace hardware.

No. I do wrap my bar tape over the cables, but that is not required. The pull tabs are inserted from the bottom, hook onto the lever, and the cable runs along the handlebars and down the frame to the brakes.

Yes, however whenever you use pvc threads you have to use Teflon tape, not any kind of liquid such as TFE paste, only Teflon tape or you will have a leak.

I used Gorilla tape around cast iron pipes and it worked fine. I then wrapped the insulation around the pipe and finally vapor barrier strips of plastic provided with the insulation around the outside of both.

There is no need to wrap your hot water pipes, just let your hot water drip from a faucet. As water leaves your water heater it refills with cold water,both lines have water flow.

The instructions say to use fiberglass which I did but the distal end of my tape is embedded in spray foam with no ill effects so far. The foam could be a fire hazard so be careful where you install it.

Maybe the others should have used plumbers tape while connecting.... mine work just fine, I am happy with it.

I did not do install myself I am sure we did not use Teflon tape I believe it was stretch tape. I do love my filter!
