Do slip-joints require teflon tape and/or pipe dope? According to Geberit's tech support... for their tubular pvc slip-joint W&O fittings, for instance, they say they do NOT recommend use of teflon or dope. However, in an article by Peter Hemp on installing kitchen sink he says to use it (at least for brass slip-joints). So let me ask the experts here... should we use teflon and/or pipe dope on the following slip-joint connections for drains:
1) tubular pvc
2) tubular abs
3) tubular brass
4) pvc pipe
5) abs pipe
I'm surprised Geberit said "no" as I remember being advised in this forum to use, for example, on ABS cleanout threads... which by the way please weigh-in on if you disagree with that advice as well.
Thanks.
