Piece of cake.
IF the gas valve fails to close one day (and it's under warranty),
you'll gripe and moan about inferior products and replace the gas
valve. When the manufacturer of the GV takes it apart and finds
bits of Teflon tape in the valve, he'll deny the claim.
After the warranty period? The burner may never shut off OR the
gas may sputter and not get lit by the pilot until one day... BOOM.
Your life.
Most directions say not to use Teflon tape. Who needs directions
anyway?

Omfg where do people come up with this stuff?

It is called common sense.

Really God help anyone you do work for.. they will believe the sky is
falling and they need to replace their muffler bearings or their car
will stop working....in the middle of the freeway during rush hour.

Actually , common sense says you're careful not to let bits of tape get to
the valve in the first place - it ain't that hard . Same thing can happen if
you get over-exuberant with pipe dope .
