The tape is made from 100% PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene).
Yes, this tape is suitable for use on both metal and plastic pipe threads.
The roll contains 12 meters of PTFE thread sealing tape.
For most standard applications, 3 to 5 wraps are recommended, ensuring a snug fit and complete coverage of the male threads.
While PTFE tape is often used for gas lines, it is crucial to use tape specifically rated for gas applications. This product is primarily designed for water and general plumbing use. Always consult local regulations and use appropriate materials for gas lines.
Store the tape in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
No, PTFE tape seals by filling the gaps between threads and conforming to the shape, it does not rely on an adhesive.
Ensure the tape was wrapped tightly and in the correct direction (clockwise on male threads). Check that enough wraps were applied (3-5 minimum) and that the threads were clean and dry before application.
Apply slightly less tension while wrapping. Ensure the tape is not snagging on any rough edges of the fitting. Use a fresh section of tape if it has become damaged.
Ensure you are stretching the tape taut as you wrap. This helps it conform to the thread profile. Practice on a spare fitting if needed.
Setup: Ensure pipe threads are clean and dry before application. Unwind the tape from the roll and wrap it clockwise around the male threads of the pipe fitting. Apply 3-5 wraps, ensuring each layer overlaps the previous one slightly. Stretch the tape taut as you wrap to help it conform to the threads. Trim any excess tape. Screw the fitting together firmly.
Compatibility: This tape is designed for use with standard threaded connections on metal (e.g., brass, copper, galvanized steel) and plastic (e.g., PVC, CPVC) pipes. It is generally suitable for water, air, and other non-aggressive fluids at standard domestic pressures and temperatures. Always check specific application requirements and material compatibility if unsure.
Care: Store the tape in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity. Keep the roll clean to avoid contamination.
