Ips 514587 Teflon Thread Sealant Paste 1/2 Pint

Product Description

The IPS 514587 is a Teflon-based thread sealant paste used to seal threaded pipe connections against leaks. Applied to male pipe threads before assembly, the paste fills voids in the thread profile and cures to a resilient, pressure-resistant seal. It is compatible with a wide range of pipe materials and common in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though the product is also used by qualified mechanical contractors on threaded gas, water, and compressed-air lines. The 1/2 pint container provides a practical supply for maintenance and service work.

This thread sealant paste is suited for use on threaded joints in residential and commercial piping systems. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas service connections, and compressed-air fittings where a reliable, non-hardening thread seal is required. The paste format allows precise application to NPT and other tapered thread forms without waste.

Key Features

• Teflon-based formula seals threaded pipe connections against pressure and leaks
• Non-hardening paste remains workable and allows joint disassembly
• Applies directly to male threads before fitting assembly
• 1/2 pint container sized for service and maintenance use
• Suitable for water, gas, and compressed-air threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sealant for threaded pipe joints in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems. Verify suitability for specific media and pressure ratings before installation.

Installation Notes

Thread sealant paste is typically applied by licensed plumbers or mechanical contractors working under applicable plumbing and mechanical codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before disassembling or assembling any threaded joint. Apply paste evenly to the male threads only, then hand-tighten followed by wrench tightening to the fitting manufacturer recommendation. Do not over-apply, as excess paste can contaminate the pipe interior.
