Dixon Valve TTB75 PTFE Industrial Sealant Tape, -212 to 500 Degree F Temperature Range, 3.5mil Thick, 520 Length, 3/4 Width, White

Got the job done!

This pipe tape is no different from the one you can buy at the local hardware store, at a cheaper price.

Good adhesion!

Easy to use

A little of this tape before I added shower handles and spout made a secure fit!

Works as expected

Adhesion was great…easy to use

Works well. The first time I only wrapped it around the threads 3 times and there was a single drop leaking from it every 5-7 seconds. The next time I wrapped it 6 times around and got a perfect seal with not a single drop leaking. The tape can be ripped with hands. Be sure to push the tape down around the threads with your thumb before attempting to connect the shower head. Also, clean the threads on the pipe of any previous residue before applying tape for the best results. Only gripe is that I bought this because it was the recommended one. Not knowing anything about sealant tape at the time, I ordered it. When I received the item I did some reading saying 1/2 inch tape is the best size. After using it I discovered this to be true. Half inch tape would have been more than enough. The 3/4 inch tape works the same, but leaves a lot of unused white tape visible on the pipe.

Bought this for a leaky washer machine because our washer uses water from our sink because 1. Our house is really old and 2. Some redneck with his degree in engineering probably lived here at one time. Anywho it does the job.. that is if i got to use it. Gf decided to just tell her dad about it and he brought his valve tape and fixed as this valve tape that I bought was on the way.. yep. There goes $2.

This tape is wider than the tapes I have used in the past. When using this tape I like that it covers the pipe threads completely in one width on small pipes.
