TEFFLON TAPE

Teflon tape, also known as plumber's tape or thread seal tape, is a commonly used plumbing accessory.  Teflon tape is highly resistant to chemical reactions, temperature changes, and corrosion, making it an effective sealant in plumbing applications. The primary purpose of Teflon tape is to create a watertight and airtight seal between threaded pipe connections, such as fittings, joints, or valves. It acts as a lubricant during the assembly process and helps prevent leaks by filling gaps and reducing friction between the threaded surfaces. To apply Teflon tape, it is wrapped clockwise around the male threads of a pipe or fitting before connecting it to the female threads. The tape provides a tight seal when the threads are tightened, preventing water or gas from leaking through the connection. Teflon tape is commonly used in plumbing projects involving water pipes, gas pipes, or any threaded connections that require a secure and leak-free seal. It is easy to use, cost-effective, and widely available in hardware stores or plumbing supply outlets. Teflon tape is a valuable tool for both professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts, ensuring reliable and long-lasting connections in plumbing systems.
