Its specialized composition provides excellent resistance to chemical degradation, making it a reliable choice for demanding plumbing and heating applications.

Advantages

This Teflon tape offers exceptional durability and performance due to its high-quality material composition. It is designed to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, ranging from -60°C to 260°C, ensuring that the seal remains intact under various operational conditions. The tape is easy to apply and conforms well to threads, providing a consistent and reliable barrier against leaks without the need for additional adhesives.

Suitable for

• Sealing threaded gas pipe connections
• Plumbing and heating system installations
• Industrial gas line maintenance
• Residential gas appliance connections

When it may not be suitable

How to use

To use the FACOT TEFDIN1912F tape, ensure the threaded surfaces are clean, dry, and free of debris. Begin at the end of the male thread and wrap the tape in the direction of the thread, overlapping each layer by approximately half the width of the tape. Maintain tension while wrapping to ensure the tape conforms tightly to the thread profile. Continue wrapping until the desired thickness is achieved, then tear the tape and press the end firmly against the threads before assembling the connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the tape with the specific gas type used in your system
• Ensure the thread size is appropriate for the 19 mm width of the tape
• Check that the operating temperature of your installation falls within the -60°C to 260°C range

Usage recommendations: Always ensure that the tape is wrapped in the direction of the thread tightening to prevent it from unraveling during the assembly process. Do not over-apply the tape, as excessive thickness can make it difficult to engage the threads properly.
