Description
Overview:
This PTFE Thread Sealing Tape is a general-purpose tape for sealing threaded pipe joints in plumbing and maintenance work. Made from pure PTFE, it fills thread gaps to create a reliable, watertight and airtight seal without hardening. The tape is 12 mm wide (0.47 inches) and supplied as a 12 m roll (39.37 ft) on a protective plastic spool for clean storage and easy dispensing. It suits metal and plastic BSP threaded fittings used on domestic and commercial systems, including pumps, pressure washers and air compressors. The non-adhesive PTFE surface also lubricates threads, helping fittings tighten smoothly and disassemble later without galling. Manufacturer reference: MPN 865 130.
Key Features:
- PTFE construction for chemical resistance and long service life
- Forms a tight seal under thread compression; non-hardening and non-setting
- Helps prevent leaks on tapered and parallel BSP threads
- Low-friction surface aids assembly and later removal of fittings
- Clean, convenient plastic spool reduces contamination and waste
- General-purpose density suitable for everyday plumbing and maintenance tasks
- Compatible with brass, stainless steel, galvanised steel, copper and many plastics
- Works with hot and cold water systems and general air lines
- Easy to tear by hand; no tools required for application
- Size guidance: 12 mm (0.47 inches) width suits common 3/8 in to 1/2 in BSP fittings; 12 m (39.37 ft) roll provides multiple joints
Typical Applications:
Sealing threaded joints on taps, showers, radiator valves, isolation valves, pump unions, pressure washer fittings, irrigation manifolds, pneumatic couplings and compressor lines. Useful during installation, repair and maintenance to stop weeps on metal or plastic threads, improve alignment during tightening and assist future disassembly without damaging threads.
Also known as:
