Question for you plumbers
I am installing a water filter on the incoming cold water supply to our washing machine.
The connection on the filter is plastic threaded female and I will be using a male threaded plastic (PVC) on PVC piping.
I have always been told that you don't use Teflon tape when you are going plastic threads to plastic threads.
Is that correct ? Or should I use it ?
The instructions with the filter say "never use pipe sealant or pipe dope"
just looking for the above question answered not suggestions on using PEX, etc
