Tips for non plumbers

The white plastic thing is an elbow ,the white tape at the bottom of it is PTFE .
THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS IS OK DON'T DO IT

 

That was probably done by a heating engineer.

 

I have no words.

 

I shall simply retire to a quiet corner of my shed and gently weep myself to sleep..

Find a happy place
Find a happy place
Find a happy place

 

Here’s another tip for non plumbers. Think about your own job, imagine me trying to do it. If you think it would end in disaster and failure, apply that same logic to my job.

 

Luckily any dumb ***** can do my job so not going to end in disaster.

You need to go round with at least 2 more rolls !!

 

There is an exception to this. If said DIYer had used the ptfe tape to wrap around his own elbow. Restricting blood flow, causing the limb to become infected and leading to generalised sepsis and eventual death, thus ending his bloodline and the chance of him having offspring to copy his diy techniques. Then obviously that’s a fair use of ptfe and an elbow.

If it's not duck tape it's not a proper repair
