Tip: 1/2" width is the homeowner standard for water-supply threaded joints. 520" (about 43 Ft) is the contractor-pack length - twice the footage of the standard pocket roll, the right size for a whole-house re-plumb or a job-tote restock. Wrap 3 to 5 turns clockwise around the male threads in the direction the fitting tightens.
