FACOT TEFST1212 PTFE Thread Seal Tape 12mm x 12m x 0.076mm

The FACOT TEFST1212 PTFE thread seal tape is a professional-grade solution designed to provide secure and leak-proof connections for threaded pipe systems. Measuring 12 mm in width and 12 meters in length with a thickness of 0.076 mm, this white Teflon tape is engineered to withstand demanding environments in plumbing and heating installations. Its chemical resistance and broad temperature tolerance make it a reliable choice for ensuring long-term integrity in various piping applications.

Advantages

This PTFE tape offers exceptional versatility and ease of application, conforming perfectly to threaded surfaces to prevent leaks without the need for additional adhesives. Its high-quality material composition ensures resistance to a wide range of chemicals and extreme temperature fluctuations, ranging from -60°C to 260°C. The tape is non-adhesive, which allows for easy disassembly of joints during future maintenance or repairs, ensuring that threads remain clean and undamaged over time.

Suitable for

• Sealing threaded pipe connections in plumbing systems
• Installation and maintenance of heating and cooling circuits
• Industrial piping applications requiring chemical resistance
• Securing metal and plastic threaded fittings

This product may not be suitable for high-pressure hydraulic systems or applications involving specialized gases where specific certified sealants are required by local regulations. It is also not intended for use on non-threaded connections or surfaces that require structural bonding, as the tape serves exclusively as a thread sealant.

Key specifications

• Material: PTFE (Teflon)
• Dimensions: 12 mm width x 12 m length
• Thickness: 0.076 mm
• 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. Begin at the end of the male thread and wrap the tape in the direction of the thread's pitch, overlapping each layer by approximately half the width of the tape. Maintain consistent tension to ensure the tape conforms tightly to the thread profile. Continue wrapping until the entire threaded area is covered, then tear the tape and press the end firmly against the threads before screwing the fitting into place.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of PTFE with the specific fluids or gases in your system
• Ensure the thread size is appropriate for a 12 mm wide tape
• Check local building codes for specific sealing requirements in gas or potable water systems

Usage recommendations: For optimal results, apply the tape with sufficient tension to ensure it sits deep within the threads. Avoid over-wrapping, as excessive layers can make the fitting difficult to tighten or cause the threads to cross-thread during installation.
