Typical costs: Costs for complete installation of an encapsulation system start around $2,000-$4,000, average $5,000-$7,000 and can go as high as $8,000-$14,000 or more, depending on the size and condition of the crawlspace, local rates, and the materials used.
The Rc thread is a designation for BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper). refers to the threaded end of a fitting or pipe which is 1/4 inch trade size (not actually 0.25 inches), and having British Standard Tapered Pipe threads.
Thread seal tape is wrapped around the threads, lubricating the connection and allowing the two pieces to be screwed deeper together. Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film for use in sealing pipe threads. The tape is sold cut to specific widths and wound on a spool, making it easy to wind around pipe threads.
