  2. Thread seal tape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_seal_tape

    Thread seal tape (also known as PTFE tape, Teflon tape, or plumber's tape) is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film tape commonly used in plumbing for sealing pipe threads. The tape is sold cut to specific widths and wound on a spool, making it easy to wind around pipe threads. Thread seal tape lubricates, allowing for a deeper seating of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_dope

    Pipe dope. Pipe dope is any thread lubricant, thread sealing compound, or anaerobic chemical sealant that is used to make a pipe thread joint leakproof and pressure tight. [1] It is also referred to as "thread compound" or "pipe thread sealant." [2] Although common pipe threads are tapered and therefore will achieve an interference fit during ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_pipe_thread

    National Pipe Taper Fuel (NPTF, also called Dryseal American National Standard Taper Pipe Thread, defined by ASME B1.20.3) is designed to provide a more leak-free seal without the use of PTFE tape (often referred to by the popular brand name "Teflon") or another sealant compound. NPTF threads have the same basic shape but with crest and root ...

    Tapered threads. The threaded pipes used in some plumbing installations for the delivery of gases or liquids under pressure have a tapered thread that is slightly conical (in contrast to the parallel sided cylindrical section commonly found on bolts and leadscrews). The seal provided by a threaded pipe joint depends upon multiple factors: the ...

  6. Thread-locking fluid - Wikipedia
