FACOT TEFPRO1915A PTFE Thread Seal Tape 19mm x 15m x 0.2mm

The FACOT TEFPRO1915A PTFE thread seal tape is a professional-grade solution designed to ensure secure and leak-proof connections in various plumbing and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from high-quality Teflon, this white sealing tape offers exceptional durability and chemical resistance, making it an essential component for maintaining the integrity of threaded joints. With a width of 19mm, a length of 15m, and a thickness of 0.2mm, it provides sufficient coverage and density to seal even the most demanding pipe threads effectively.

Advantages

This PTFE tape stands out due to its impressive temperature resistance, functioning reliably in environments ranging from -60°C to 260°C. Its robust construction ensures that it does not degrade easily when exposed to various chemicals, providing a long-lasting seal that prevents leaks and corrosion. The tape is easy to apply and conforms well to the threads, filling gaps to create a tight, reliable barrier without the need for additional adhesives or messy liquid sealants.

Suitable for

• Sealing threaded pipe connections in residential plumbing
• Industrial piping systems requiring chemical resistance
• Heating and cooling system installations
• Maintenance and repair of water supply lines

When it may not be suitable

This tape is not intended for use on non-threaded connections or fittings that require structural bonding. It should not be used in high-pressure hydraulic systems where specific mechanical seals are required, nor is it suitable for applications involving strong oxidizing agents that might be incompatible with PTFE material.

Key specifications

• Material: Teflon (PTFE)
• Width: 19 mm
• Length: 15 m
• Thickness: 0.2 mm
• Temperature resistance: -60°C to 260°C
• Color: White
• Adhesive: None

How to use

To achieve an optimal seal, ensure the pipe threads are clean, dry, and free of debris. Begin at the end of the pipe and wrap the tape around the threads in the direction of the thread spiral. Apply consistent tension while wrapping to ensure the tape conforms tightly to the grooves. Typically, three to five wraps are sufficient for most standard connections, though this may vary depending on the thread size and condition. Once wrapped, screw the mating fitting onto the pipe, ensuring it is tightened securely to compress the tape into the threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thread size to ensure the 19mm width is appropriate for your application
• Check the compatibility of PTFE with the specific fluids or gases in your system
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system falls within the -60°C to 260°C range

Usage recommendations

For the best results, avoid over-applying the tape, as excessive layers can make it difficult to thread the fittings together and may cause the tape to bunch up, potentially compromising the seal. Always wrap in the direction of the thread to prevent the tape from unraveling during assembly.
