Sealing Cord UNIPAK Loctite-55 50 m — plumber’s sealing thread for pipe joints, 50 meters

Sealing cord UNIPAK Loctite-55, 50 m spool, is a plumber’s sealing thread engineered for gasketing threaded pipe connections and fittings. The cord forms a tight mechanical barrier by filling gaps and irregularities on metal and plastic threads. Designed for straightforward application without the need for tape or paste, it simplifies assembly and later disassembly of joints while offering resistance to common plumbing fluids used in water, gas and heating systems.

Advantages

UNIPAK Loctite-55 sealing cord creates a uniform compressible seal that adapts to different thread profiles and sizes. The 50 m spool provides a convenient length for multiple repair and installation tasks. The material resists degradation from typical plumbing fluids and helps prevent leaks at threaded connections. Because it does not harden into a brittle compound, it allows easier dismantling of fittings compared with permanent sealants.

Suitable for

• Sealing threaded household water pipes and fittings
• Gasketing joints in heating and radiator connections
• Sealing non-critical gas fittings where approved
• Temporary or serviceable joints that require periodic disassembly

Key specifications

• Form: compressible sealing cord
• Length: 50 meters per spool
• Compatible thread types: metal and plastic threaded fittings
• Function: mechanical sealing by filling thread gaps
• Resistance: suitable against common plumbing fluids used in water, gas and heating systems

How to use

Clean and dry the threaded surfaces before applying the cord. Wind the sealing cord clockwise around the male thread starting at the end of the pipe, overlapping each turn to fill thread roots and crests. Use enough cord to fill the thread space but avoid excessive bulk that prevents proper engagement of fittings. Assemble the joint by tightening according to the fitting manufacturer’s instructions. For disassembly, simply unwind the cord from the threads and replace if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Store the spool in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For gas applications, ensure compliance with local regulations and use only where the product is approved for that specific type of gas service. Replace the sealing cord if it shows signs of contamination, abrasion or loss of compressibility.
