Mill-rose 70196-z Ptfe Thread Sealant Tape 3/4x520 in

Product Description

The MILL-ROSE 70196-z is a white 100% virgin PTFE thread sealant tape designed for sealing threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications. Measuring 3/4 inches wide by 520 inches long, this tape delivers a pressure rating of 3000 psi and a temperature range of -450 to 500 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding service conditions. The 100% virgin PTFE construction ensures chemical inertness and consistent density across the roll. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this tape as a primary thread sealant on a wide range of threaded fittings and connections.

This tape is appropriate for residential and commercial installations involving threaded pipe joints in water supply, gas, steam, and process piping systems. The 3/4 inch width is a standard size commonly applied to larger-diameter male pipe threads, providing full thread coverage in fewer wraps. It is well-suited for use in mechanical rooms, utility installations, and field service work where a reliable, clean thread seal is required without liquid sealant compounds.

Key Features

• 100% virgin PTFE material for chemical inertness and consistent performance
• Pressure rating of 3000 psi suitable for high-pressure threaded connections
• Temperature range of -450 to 500 degrees F covering cryogenic through high-heat service
• 3/4 inch width provides full thread coverage on larger pipe diameters
• 520 inch length per roll for extended use across multiple joints
• Tape thickness of 0.003 inches (plus or minus 0.001 inch) for controlled, uniform application

Compatibility

Designed as a standard thread sealant tape for use on threaded pipe fittings in plumbing, HVAC, gas, and process piping applications where PTFE tape is a specified or acceptable sealant method.

Installation Notes

Thread sealant tape is typically applied by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the system before disassembling any threaded connections. Wrap the tape clockwise around male threads — in the direction of threading — to prevent unraveling during joint assembly. Do not use PTFE tape as the sole sealant on connections where the fitting manufacturer or applicable code requires a listed pipe thread compound.
