19MM PTFE Thread Seal Tape

PTFE thread tape creates a tight-fitting seal or skin around the threads of various joint types in piping and ductwork.

During the sealing process, it is important to ensure that the threads are clean. You should clean them thoroughly with water and dry them off.

Once the fittings are completely dry, begin wrapping around the tape. Start one thread down from the open end and work your way back to the top.

PTFE Thread Seal Tape

19MM PTFE Thread Seal Tape is the gizmo of choice for pipe and ductwork maintenance crews. Specifically designed for a variety of threaded applications, it's got all the right ingredients in the kitchen including low friction, high-temperature performance and superior insulation. Featuring a high quality polymer resin in a sleek, matte finish, it comes with a matching adhesive backing for added durability and peace of mind. A little research will reveal this is a dependable and effective ally in your quest for a leak-free home or office. Among its many uses, it is most commonly used to insulate and protect piping from corrosion and temperature extremes. Besides, it's easy to apply and remove, so no mess is the order of the day. Moreover, it's a cost-effective replacement for that old clunky metal pipe and fittings.

PTFE Tape for Plumbing

PTFE tape is used by plumbers and handymen as well as homeowners who want to stop leaks. It's a professional strength adhesive tape that can be found in most hardware stores.

It is used to seal threaded pipe connections and can be a good long-term solution for leaks until the connection is fixed or replaced. It also helps prevent rusting or corrosion in older plumbing.

Wrapping a PTFE tape properly is easy and stress free once you know how to do it correctly. Specialty PTFE tapes come color coded for specific applications so you can easily grab the right one for the job.

Most standard white PTFE tapes are primarily used for water system connections because they're resistant to acid and corrosion. This is because they have a higher density than specialty tapes and are much thicker.

PTFE Tape for Gas Fittings

PTFE Tape is used for preventing leaks in plumbing and duct work. It is easy to apply, has a non-stick backing, is pliable and bendy and can be easily wrapped around pipe threads and compression joints.

Usually sold on plastic spools, PTFE thread tape is available in various thicknesses, widths and lengths (mm) and is designed to be applied and removed easily without leaving any stickiness or waste. It is a lubricating and sealing product which can withstand moderately high pressures and heat making it suitable for a range of applications including gas fittings, oil and petrol pipes and many other fluid lines.

Yellow PTFE thread seal tape is suitable for all types of plumbing and potable water systems as well as threaded air and gas lines. It is also suitable for oxygen cylinders and oxygen welding lines.

PTFE Tape for Hydraulic Fittings

PTFE tape, also known as plumbers’ tape, is an extremely versatile sealant and lubricant that’s used in a number of different pipework and plumbing applications. PTFE is a synthetic fluoropolymer that’s extremely hydrophobic, meaning it can repel water.

Generally, it’s used as a sealant and lubricant for connecting pipe threads. It’s commonly found in tradie toolkits and is widely used in domestic and industrial plumbing.

When used in conjunction with the right kind of fittings, PTFE tape can make sure your connections will be leak-free. However, it’s important to wrap PTFE tape properly and don’t apply too much pressure as this can cause damage to the threads of your fittings.

When using PTFE tape on fittings, start wrapping about one full thread circumference below the first threading line and wrap two to three revolutions. This should be enough to ensure the tape conforms to the mating threads.
