What is the proper way to use Teflon tape for gas fittings to ensure a secure and leak-free connection?

To use Teflon tape for gas fittings, wrap the tape around the male threads in a clockwise direction. Make sure to wrap the tape tightly and evenly, overlapping each layer slightly. This will help create a secure and leak-free connection when the fitting is tightened into place. Be cautious not to over-tighten the fitting, as this can damage the tape and cause leaks.
