Bsc Preferred 17210-144 Ptfe Thread Seal Tape 3/4 X 260 in

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 17210-144 is an economy-grade PTFE thread seal tape designed for sealing threaded pipe connections across a wide range of plumbing, HVAC, and gas-line applications. Constructed from virgin white PTFE material, this tape delivers reliable, long-lasting thread sealing without cracking, degrading, or absorbing moisture over time. The non-flammable formulation makes it safe for use on potable water systems, and its low-density construction allows for easy hand application on standard tapered pipe threads. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters keep this tape as a standard consumable for everyday threaded joint assembly.

This tape is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line fittings, and gas distribution piping where an approved thread sealant is required. Its 3/4 inch width covers larger pipe threads efficiently, reducing the number of wrap passes needed to achieve a proper seal. The 260 inch length provides enough material for multiple connections per roll, making it a practical addition to any service kit or shop supply inventory. It is appropriate for use on water supply lines, drain connections, and other threaded pipe assemblies where a clean, non-reactive seal is needed.

Key Features

• Virgin white PTFE construction for consistent density and long-term durability
• Non-flammable formulation safe for potable water applications
• Economy-grade low-density tape suited for standard threaded pipe connections
• 3/4 inch width accommodates larger-diameter pipe threads with fewer wrap passes
• 260 inch roll length provides multiple applications per roll

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose thread seal tape for use on standard tapered threaded pipe connections across plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Application is performed by hand without tools — wrap the tape clockwise around the male threads, pulling it snug into the thread grooves before making the threaded connection. Shut off water supply or isolate the gas or refrigerant line before disassembling any existing fittings. Follow local plumbing codes (IPC) and gas codes (IFGC) for approved thread sealant methods on potable water and gas piping. Do not apply tape over damaged or cross-threaded fittings, as tape alone will not compensate for a compromised thread surface.
