Gasoila YT71 Gas Pipe Thread Seal Tape Ptfe Yellow

Product Description

The GASOILA YT71 is a yellow PTFE thread seal tape engineered specifically for gas pipe connections. Made from polytetrafluoroethylene, it provides a reliable, leak-resistant seal on threaded gas fittings and pipe joints. The tape measures 0.5 inches wide by 520 inches long with a thickness of 3.8 mil, giving installers a generous roll for multiple connections per spool. Its yellow color is the industry-standard indicator for gas service, making visual identification quick during rough-in and inspection. Rated for use from -450 degrees F to 550 degrees F, it handles the temperature range found in residential and light commercial gas piping systems. Plumbers and gas fitters apply this tape as a standard thread sealant on NPT-threaded gas fittings before assembly.

This tape is suited for use on natural gas and propane pipe connections using threaded NPT fittings in residential and light commercial installations. It is commonly applied to gas supply lines, appliance connectors, meter sets, and manifold connections during new construction, renovation, and service work. The 520-inch length per roll makes it practical for jobs involving multiple connections. The yellow color helps inspectors and service technicians confirm that gas-rated tape, rather than standard white plumber tape, was used on the installation.

Key Features

• Yellow PTFE construction meets visual identification standards for gas service thread tape
• 3.8 mil thickness provides durable, consistent coverage on NPT threads
• 520-inch roll length suits multi-connection jobs without mid-job restocking
• Rated from -450 degrees F to 550 degrees F for reliable performance across service conditions
• Polytetrafluoroethylene material is chemically inert and resistant to gas permeation
• 0.5-inch width fits standard gas pipe thread sizes cleanly without excess overlap

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement thread seal tape for gas-rated threaded pipe connections in residential and light commercial gas piping systems.

Installation Notes

Gas pipe thread tape is applied by licensed plumbers or gas fitters in accordance with IFGC requirements and local gas codes. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the connection point before disassembling or threading any fitting. Wrap tape in the direction of the thread, typically two to three wraps, to prevent the tape from unwinding during fitting makeup. Do not use this tape as a substitute for approved pipe dope on connections where the fitting manufacturer or local code requires liquid sealant.
