Teflon Tape

Teflon tape is used when connecting metal pipes, water and fuel lines, to reduce the risk of leaks. By taping the end of one pipe, a more slippery and flatter surface can be obtained, which will provide a deeper connection. As an additional precaution, the surface of the tape can be coated with a liquid filler and then treated. Although the word "Teflon" is technically a trademark, it is widely used around the world as an abbreviation for "polytetrafluoroethylene". You can safely use tapes with the words "PTFE" or "PolyTetraFloroEthylene" on the label.
