Teflon tape for water installations UNIPAK 12 mm x 13.2 m thickness 0.1 mm (13114)

UNIPAK Teflon tape for water installations, 12 mm x 13.2 m with a thickness of 0.1 mm, is a PTFE thread seal tape designed for sealing threaded pipe joints and fittings in plumbing systems. It provides a thin, chemically inert barrier between male and female threads to reduce the risk of leaks and minimize galvanic corrosion. The tape is suitable for both metal and plastic threads used in household and commercial water lines.

Advantages

The tape is made from PTFE, offering high chemical resistance and low friction for easier assembly of threaded connections. Its 12 mm width and 0.1 mm thickness make it convenient for standard water installation threads while the 13.2 m roll supplies sufficient length for multiple fittings. The product conforms to common expectations for thread seal tapes used in potable water systems and helps achieve reliable sealing without additional sealants.

Suitable for

• Sealing threaded pipe joints in household water supply systems
• Fittings and valves made of metal or plastic
• Repair and maintenance tasks in commercial plumbing
• Connections where a thin, non-hardening seal is required

Key specifications

• Material: PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)
• Width: 12 mm
• Length: 13.2 m
• Thickness: 0.1 mm
• Color: typically white
• Application medium: cold and hot water lines

How to use

Clean and dry the male thread surface before application. Start wrapping at the end of the fitting and apply the tape in the direction of the thread rotation, overlapping each turn slightly to cover the threads evenly. Typically 2–4 wraps are sufficient for standard pipe threads; avoid overwrapping which can prevent proper engagement of threads. After wrapping, hand-tighten the connection and finish with an appropriate wrench if required, taking care not to overtighten.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in a dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. For potable water installations, ensure the tape is compatible with local plumbing codes. Do not use PTFE tape intended for gas on water systems interchangeably; use product specifically marked for water installations when required.
