Teflon tape—generically called PTFE or pipe thread tape—is a thin, “stretchy,” tape you wrap around pipe threads before screwing them to their counterparts. It doesn’t have a sticky side, but rather clings to the pipe and itself as you wrap it tightly around the threads.

Teflon tape does two important things: One, it acts as a sealant to plug small gaps that might be present after the joint is assembled; and two, it acts as a lubricant so the pipe goes together more easily initially and also comes apart more easily when disassembled.

​

Uses:

• Used to seal water, air, gas from leaking through threaded connections that don’t have a built in rubber seal.

• Used to seal pipe threads being joined together for plumbing jobs
