WHAT IS TEFLON TAPE



Teflon tapes operate in demanding temperatures and chemical environments. The unique properties of teflon tapes includes the exceptional strength and durability, making it ideally suited for a variety of industries including packaging, aero-space and electronics. A series of teflon tapes are very strong and holds up well under high usage.
Teflon tape has many applications especially for use on heat-seal packaging equipment,to help seal plumbing connections. It exhibits high conformability to most surfaces and releases well after use and is chemically inert. Its characteristics are superior dielectric strength; excellent tear and abrasion resistant.


Application


-Typical applications include wrapping and splicing of wire and cables, and as a mask for wave soldering of printed circuit boards.
-The combination of low elongation, high tensile strength and excellent dielectric strength makes it an excellent insulation tape.
-Good strength, abrasion resistance and the low friction properties of teflon tapes makes it a prime choice for mechanical applications.


The right way to apply Teflon tape to a shower arm
Always apply Teflon tape clockwise onto the shower arm supply pipe.
If you wrap the tape on counter-clockwise it will bunch up when you screw on your shower head causing a leak.
Hold the roll of tape in your right hand. Unroll a piece of the tape and press it onto the shower arm supply pipe threads with your left thumb.
Pull the tape lightly with the roll in your right hand so there're no wrinkles. Keep the tension on the tape as you wrap it around
the threads clockwise.
Wrap the tape around the shower arm supply pipe four to five times
– even more if you like. Then pull the tape tight until it snaps and smooth the end around the shower arm pipe. Now you can screw on your shower head. Don't over-tighten!


Can I use pipe dope on my shower head or hand held shower?
Never use pipe dope or plumbers putty to install shower fittings like shower heads, hand held shower head sets or tub spouts. It may react with plastic components causing them to break.
