PTFE Thread Seal Tape for Plumbers (1/2 Inch x 520 Inch, White, Pack of 5 Rolls) by Supply Giant I33-5

Tim The Toolman: Can’t beat the price. As a DIY’er I use this stuff all the time. With a pack of 5 now don’t have to go find the one roll, usually in the last place I used it. Just keep one everywhere I need it. One in the basement on top of the hot water heater as I change the elements regularly. One in the kitchen through all(junk) drawer. I’ve also converted the water heater in the R.V. to electric and remove the element to clean or replace it regularly so I keep one inside the access door. One in the R.V. itself and the last one in the shop building.

Forbes: There isn't much to Teflon tape, so this review will be minimal, but here is the pertinent information:
Unlike some Teflon tape, this doesn't display any tendency to split or break off into threads even when torn by hand--which is how most people do it, right?
The consistency is silky and it has nice self adhesion.
This seems to require a couple more layers of wrap than some Teflon tape I have used, but I don't know if this is a thinner variety or if it was just the application (preparing 1/4 inch fasteners for a reverse osmosis system). I believe the information in Amazon does specify the thickness as well as the length and width of the roll, so that isn't a fault, just something I noticed. Overall, it works well, and I will have no problem with it now that I know to put about five or six wraps around the threads instead of three.

DianaDiana: Purchased these because my hose (which is about 2 months old so it’s pretty new) was leaking at both the connector where it attaches to the water line as well as the sprayer. I attached put this on both ends and reattached to the line and the spray nozzle and both are no longer leaking! I love when I get an idea to fix something and it actually works! Although I really don’t need 5 of these, I assume they will last for years and will be handy to have on hand. I’d rather buy too many and not have to leave my house, than buy a single roll and have to deal with the parking lot and checking out at the local big box home improvement store.

MJ Walters: I love this stuff. I would marry it if I could. As it is, I'm spending a whole lot of time trying to find places to use it because A) It works and B) It's easy to use. Crazy House is old, and some of the choices the previous owners made have left me and The Housemate scratching our heads. Water spigots are antiques, and I feared they'd need to be replaced until I found this tape. A couple of wraps, and the leaking has stopped completely. Seriously I'm so juiced about that that I keep asking The Housemate, "Is anything else leaking? We have a LOT of this tape."

A couple of tips for anyone who, like me, had never used Teflon tap before: Figure out the direction you need to turn the female connector in to attach it to the male connector. (It's usually clockwise; righty-tighty, lefty-loosey) Wrap the tape around the threads of the male connector in the same direction so when you attach the female part, you're not turning it against the direction of the wrap. I did it randomly to start and regretted it. Also, don't unroll a lot of tape at once. It's light and it can tangle and will stick to itself. Apply with a light pressure. Don't stretch it, but don't just lay it on the...

Rest: What a waste of money.

Spencer in Seattle: The media could not be loaded.  I bought this multipack of teflon tape because I'll go through four or five rolls a year, which is to say that if you only need to install a couple of shower heads you can probably get by with just a single roll of teflon tape.

If you haven't used teflon tape before, it's super easy and I go over some basic instructions in my video. Basically, you just wrap your threads in a clockwise direction and you're all set.

Yes it's true that there are different thicknesses of teflon tape. This one is right about in the middle, I'd say: I've tried out both thicker and thinner versions of teflon tape. The only thing to really watch out for is the thin stuff, as it breaks too easily and doesn't really do the job all that well. This tape is pretty good stuff and this multipack will last me a good long time.
