Connections to a copper hot water cylinder
Discussion
About to install a copper cylinder, the connections have no olives or seals, is PTFE tape ok for this? Ditto the immersion heater. Had trouble once before with the copper cracking around the immersion boss on an old tank.
Forgot to get a drain for the bottom.....back to Jewsons......
Oh and how many times around the thread with the PTFE tape please?
Cheers

Thanks everyone.
Not using the heating coil, just the cold in, hot out (vented) and the immersion. Of course my immersion spanner is 350 miles away....and today I fitted a new toilet, needed a socket to tighten the holding down brackets to the floor. Came in with the sockets on a bar, and one dropped off. Hole in one and away down the drain, Tiger Woods eat your heart out.
