Threaded pipe and fittings are considered male and female and most commonly contain NPT (National Pipe Tapered) threads. Designed for use by all pipe fitters, fabricators, plumbers, and mechanical contractors. Almost all plumbing systems (such as a natural gas pipe, compressed air pipe or a shower head and beyond) will have a section where a threaded connection is required. Teflon tape, properly known as thread seal tape, is used in the plumbing industry to seal the threads at the end of a pipe. Use on all pipe threads made of cast iron, malleable, brass, copper, and stainless steel.

Higher mil thickness reduces the number of full wraps necessary to create a water/airtight seal. When assembling larger diameter pipes a or 1 width would be best because it provides better coverage on the threaded section of the pipe. Non-staining, non-corrosive, non-hardening, non-toxic A width tape would be ideal for smaller diameter pipe.Formulated to a thick paste consistency, its fortified with an extra amount of PTFE and PTFE materials to give a positive seal with less effort Because of its unique solids content, TFE fills thread imperfections and provides leak-proof joints that seal for the life of the connection. Thread joint sealing materials shall be nonhardening and shall be resistant to the. TFE™ is a superior-grade, non-hardening, heavy-duty pipe thread sealant that is easy to-apply.
