Do I need plumber tape or other?
Going to replace a kitchen sink faucet today. When hooking up the hot and cold lines... do I use a plumber tape? if so- which one? thank you! CWT

Yes, "modern" faucets normally have a 1/2" male threaded end to which a "swivel" female fitting threads onto. A swivel fitting is like in this photo (also comes in a straight type). No PTFE tape or tools needed except may need a wrench or slip-joint pliers underneath to get the faucet off the sink. As long as the hole spacing matches what is on the sink, you can go shopping for regular off the shelf faucets.
