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
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.
Potentially is a big word.
How about to code? Work for you? Regardless, what you said is wrong and bad advice.
Ok, I was wrong. Yellow tape is thicker.
Bad advice, perhaps in your eyes. Actually some would consider using tape at all bad advice on gas service, ask most licensed plumbers. Most use Rectorseal or the like, at least in a residential or commercial / industrial setting.
To code? On an RV? What code would that be? This foolishness?
