Do any of you use this for any fittings in your WC setups? Is it something you only use if you have a leaky barb? Just curious..

Only on metal barbs with no o-ring.
O-ring barbs go in with no tape to finger tight then a half turn with a spanner.
Plastic barbs go in the trash.
Plain metal barbs get one or two turns of tape against the thread.
Some other guys use plastic barbs with silicone swipe on the thread.
Thats what I thought Jedda thanks for clearing it up. I always like to be on the safe side so I come here and check before I make an asssssupmtion

I use it on all my barbs. Tho they are metal, I dont want to risk losing hardware because I skimped on something that costs $1 and takes 2 seconds to apply

I put the tape on plastic barbs going into metal flanges. (rad).
I just refuse to use plastic barbs since I had one on my old mag3 pump crack after almost 2 years.

Yep, there is a wide world of plumbing out there
"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."
