Best Answer

Teflon, is the most slippery substance known to man. Answer:

Teflon is the trademark name for Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) a fluorocarbon solid used as a coating for cooking pans and to reduce friction in moving parts. As bulk solid it is used in plastic parts and tubing. The notable features of teflon are its low coefficient of friction, its non reactive nature with a wide range of chemicals, and the fact that it is wet by neither water or oils.

What has been tested and used on a limited basis as artificial substitutes for human blood?

Oxcyte was originally developed as an all-around blood substitute but there have been concerns about possible liver and kidney damage after prolonged use.

The slippery substance is close in structure to Telfon and is able to get oxygen to areas of the brain where human blood cells are too large to reach following a brain injury.


How do you install a new shower head?

Call ME I'm a Plumber! You want know about just the shower head? well that's easy and well for you it might be hard! Okay calm down, take your headache meds and listen! Almost all shower heads are 1/2 IPS (iron pipe size) and they need Teflon tape. Now knowing nothing of the situation your in , I'm going to guess your shower head sprays water everywhere but on you in the shower. Take a wrench and turn counter clockwise on the shower head nut (not the chrome pipe) make sure shower is off! lol ,once the shower head is off clean the treads with wire brush or something so the threads are clean. Look at your new shower head and inside the female threads look and see if there is a rubber washer. If there is a rubber washer then you can twist it on with out anything else but make sure you don't over tighten it because sometimes it drips if you have too tight. To do this just tighten hand tight and turn shower on ( stand out of shower if don't want to get wet) then slowly tight with wrench or (hands if it has ears ) till it don't drip from nut then tighten 1/4 turn more. If you don't see a rubber seal in your new shower head (if you will see a plastic washer you still need telfon) then you need to put telfon tape on the chrome threads to do this you need to put about 6"-10" of teflon tape wrapping clockwise around the chrome threads starting at the edge of the threads, some cheaper models may need more teflon tape and you need to go 1 to 1 1/2 turns after hand tight with a wrench. Be careful not to move the chrome pipe while changing the shower head because I've been to alot of service calls because they broke it off and it can be a pain to replace.


How do you replace a shower valve?

i would advise that you get some Teflon tape at the hardware store this will help seal the screws so water doesn't leak out when you turn it on. 1. first you need to unscrew the shower head off.2. then wrap the screw threads in the Teflon tape(this part can be a little tricky and if you know anything about telfon you can quess why).3. then just srcew they new shower head on but make sure you do it nice and tight. that's for your standard shower head but if you have one of those hose shower heads there some extra steps and a lot more teflon. 1. do steps 1-2.2. then but on the base that holds the shower head. 3. then wrap teflon on the part of the hose that goes in the base.4. put hose in base.5. attach hose to head then put head in base holder. That how you but on a new shower head.
