La-co 44083 Ptfe Pipe Thread Seal Tape 0.5x600 in

Product Description

The LA-CO 44083 is a general purpose PTFE pipe thread seal tape rated for use across a wide temperature range from -450 degrees F to 550 degrees F. The tape measures 0.5 inches wide and 600 inches long, with a 3 mil thickness that wraps consistently around threaded fittings without tearing or bunching. Made from virgin PTFE, it conforms to Military Specification MIL-T-27730A. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this tape to seal threaded pipe joints in gas, water, and air lines. Its white color is standard for general purpose applications across a broad range of pipe materials and service types.

This tape is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical installations where threaded connections require a reliable thread sealant. It applies cleanly to NPT threaded fittings on pipes carrying water, air, or compatible gases. The 600-inch roll length provides enough material for multiple connections on a single job. It is a stock item for service vans and shop inventory due to its compact size and wide applicability across plumbing and mechanical trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply tape in the direction of thread rotation, wrapping tightly and overlapping slightly to avoid gaps. Do not over-wrap on fine threads, as excess tape can restrict fitting makeup or contaminate the line.
