FACOT TEFHD1212F Teflon Tape 12mm x 12m x 0.1mm 1.0g/cm3

The FACOT TEFHD1212F Teflon tape is a professional-grade sealing solution engineered for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and heating installations. Measuring 12mm in width, 12m in length, and 0.1mm in thickness, this PTFE tape provides a consistent and reliable barrier against leaks. With a density of 1.0g/cm3, it offers the necessary structural integrity to maintain tight seals under varying pressure conditions, making it an essential component for both residential and industrial piping systems.

Advantages

This Teflon tape is characterized by its high resistance to chemical agents and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long-term durability in diverse environments. Its flexible nature allows for easy application around various thread types, conforming perfectly to the contours of the connection to prevent fluid or gas leakage. The material is non-adhesive, which facilitates easy disassembly of joints when maintenance or repairs are required, while its high density ensures that it does not tear easily during the wrapping process.

Suitable for

• Sealing threaded pipe connections in water supply systems
• Heating and cooling system pipe joints
• Gas piping installations where PTFE tape is specified
• Industrial fluid transport lines
• Residential plumbing repairs and maintenance

This tape may not be suitable for high-pressure steam lines or systems where specific chemical compatibility with PTFE is not guaranteed. It is also not intended for use on non-threaded connections or surfaces that require a structural adhesive bond rather than a thread seal.

Key specifications

• Material: PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
• Width: 12 mm
• Length: 12 m
• Thickness: 0.1 mm
• Density: 1.0 g/cm3

How to use

To achieve an effective seal, ensure the pipe threads are clean, dry, and free of debris or old sealant. Begin by placing the end of the tape on the first thread of the pipe. Wrap the tape in the direction of the thread, ensuring that each layer overlaps the previous one by approximately half its width. Maintain tension on the tape as you wrap to ensure it conforms tightly to the threads. Continue wrapping until you reach the end of the threaded section, then tear the tape and press the loose end firmly against the threads before screwing the fitting into place.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of PTFE with the specific fluid or gas being transported in your system.
• Ensure the dimensions of the tape are appropriate for the diameter of the pipes you are sealing.
• Check the temperature and pressure ratings of your piping system against the properties of the tape.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, apply 3 to 5 layers of tape depending on the thread size and the required tightness of the connection. Avoid over-wrapping, as excessive tape can make it difficult to engage the threads properly and may lead to cross-threading.
