YELLOW Gas Tape for fittings
Or WHITE......The only reason for Yellow Teflon tape is so when a person pulls a fitting apart, its a visual indicator that it is nat/lp gas, and not compressed air, oxygen, or some other gas. Other than the color its the same stuff and you'll not blow yourself up using white tape on a gas fitting.
It is not the same at all. Yellow is much thicker than white, and is required for lp fittings because the white can shred easily and travel downstream, potentially causing problems.
