4-Rolls Teflon Tape Thread & Fitting Sealant 1/2" x 520" Roll

Teflon (poly-trafluoroethylene or PTFE) earned it's stripes as a highly effective and reliable thread sealant when it was used during the Manhattan Project to seal pipes carrying radioactive material. More recently, it's been incorporated into the manufacturing process of the waterproof fabric Gore-Tex(TM). And now you can take advantage of it's incredible sealing properties to leak-proof plumbing connections, water pipes, air hose-fittings - just about any threaded connection. Wrap threads tightly to pull Teflon into the threads, overlapping about half the tape-width. Wrap to end of threads but not beyond to avoid causing obstruction. Fittings will tighten and loosen naturally without additional effort; If fitting is removed simply replace tape. An essential time, effort and frustration saver for professionals, do-it-yourselfers and homeowners. (Not for use with natural gas or liquid propane)
