Where would you use RS PRO PTFE tape?
This RS PRO PTFE tape is used for high temperature and chemical resistance. Enables performance on heated machinery and equipment.

How much PTFE tape to use?
For excellent sealing, wrap the PTFE tape it only requires a 50% overlap around the components to create a better seal.

How to use RS PRO PTFE Tape?
• Always clean the thread pipes before applying PTFE tape
• Wrap the tape in the direction of the threaded spiral of the male thread, always beginning with the first thread. Wrapping the wrong way may result in it coming unwound as you tighten the fitting. Do not overhang the tape
• Keep the edge of the tape parallel to the face of the fitting and wrap all the threads
• When you have wrapped enough tape around, cut or tear off the excess
• Press firmly to ensure the tape lies flat
• Tighten the male end connection into the female end connection
