MEGA PTFE thread seal tape for water 12 mm × 10 m, model 13110

MEGA PTFE thread seal tape for water 12 mm × 10 m, model 13110 is a thin, chemically inert sealing tape designed for use on threaded pipe connections in water installations. The tape is made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and provides a reliable barrier that fills thread gaps, reduces the risk of leaks and facilitates assembly and disassembly of metal and plastic fittings, taps, valves and joints.

Advantages

This PTFE tape offers low friction during installation, good conformability to male threads and resistance to most waterborne chemicals. Its narrow 12 mm width is suitable for standard thread sizes used in domestic water systems while the 10 m length supplies multiple joints per roll. The inert nature of PTFE means the tape does not absorb water, swell or degrade in typical potable water conditions, contributing to long-term tightness of threaded connections.

Suitable for

• Sealing threaded pipe joints in domestic and commercial water supply systems
• Assembly and maintenance of taps, valves and fittings
• Plumbing repairs and installation of plastic and metal threaded connections
• Temporary or permanent sealing where chemical inertness and water resistance are required

Key specifications

• Material: PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)
• Width: 12 mm
• Length: 10 m
• Application medium: water (potable and non-potable systems typical for plumbing)
• Color: white
• Suitable for metal and plastic threaded connections

How to use

Before applying the tape, clean external threads from dirt, rust and old sealing materials. Hold the tape taut and wrap it clockwise around the male threads starting at the end of the pipe so that it does not unravel when the fitting is engaged. Overlap the tape slightly on each turn for 3–6 wraps depending on thread pitch and diameter. Press the tape into the threads with a finger to ensure even coverage, then assemble the connection. Avoid excessive tape thickness which can prevent proper engagement of threads.

Usage recommendations

Use this 12 mm PTFE tape for typical plumbing tasks on water lines; choose the number of wraps to match thread size and engagement depth. For connections under high pressure or specialized fluids, verify material compatibility and follow local plumbing codes. Store the roll in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve handling properties.
