Teflon Tape
This is an essential tool for preventing leakage at threaded plumbing joint connections. Teflon® tape is a versatile, common, inexpensive thin white tape used to effectively seal pipe threads being joined together for plumbing purposes such as shower heads and threaded water line connections.
It's also used to seal air and gas from leaking through threaded connections like at your dryer.
Known technically as PTFE (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene), it is silky in texture and being strong in tension, it breaks in a stringy manner. Teflon® tape is sold in small rolls.
