FACOT TEFFRP1212F PTFE Thread Seal Tape 12mm x 12m x 0.1mm

The FACOT TEFFRP1212F PTFE thread seal tape is a professional-grade solution designed for creating secure and leak-proof threaded pipe connections. Manufactured from high-quality Teflon, this tape provides a reliable seal for various plumbing and heating applications, ensuring long-term durability and performance in demanding environments.

Advantages

This PTFE tape offers exceptional chemical resistance and maintains its integrity across a wide temperature range, making it highly versatile for different industrial and domestic systems. Its 0.1mm thickness provides an optimal balance between ease of application and sealing efficiency, preventing leaks without adding excessive bulk to the threads. The material is non-adhesive, which allows for easy disassembly of joints when maintenance or repairs are required, while its white color ensures a clean and professional appearance in visible installations.

Suitable for

• Sealing threaded pipe connections in plumbing systems
• Heating and cooling system installations
• Gas and water supply pipe fittings
• Industrial piping maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This tape is not intended for use on non-threaded connections or fittings that require structural adhesive bonding. It may not be suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems where specific liquid sealants or anaerobic thread lockers are mandated by safety regulations.

Key specifications

• Material: PTFE (Teflon)
• Dimensions: 12mm width x 12m length
• Thickness: 0.1mm
• Temperature resistance: -60°C to +260°C
• Color: White
• Adhesive: None

How to use

To apply the tape, ensure the pipe threads are clean, dry, and free of debris. Start at the end of the pipe and wrap the tape around the threads in the direction of the thread spiral. Apply tension to the tape as you wrap to ensure it conforms tightly to the thread profile. Typically, three to four wraps are sufficient for most standard connections; avoid over-wrapping, as this can make threading difficult or cause the tape to bunch up. Once applied, screw the mating fitting onto the pipe, ensuring a firm and secure connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size and type to ensure compatibility
• Check if the application requires specific certifications for gas or potable water
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system falls within the -60°C to +260°C range

Usage recommendations

For the best results, always wrap the tape in the direction of the thread to prevent it from unraveling when the fitting is tightened. Ensure that the tape does not overlap the end of the pipe, as loose fragments could potentially obstruct flow or damage downstream components.
