Mill-rose 70202-z Ptfe Thread Sealant Tape 1/2x1296 in

Product Description

The MILL-ROSE 70202-z is a white 100% virgin PTFE thread sealant tape used to seal threaded pipe joints against leaks. It conforms to thread profiles on contact and creates a pressure-resistant, chemically inert seal without hardening or cracking over time. Rated to 3000 psi and a temperature range of -450 to 500 degrees F, this tape handles a wide range of fluid and gas service conditions. Each roll measures 0.5 inches wide by 1296 inches long with a nominal thickness of 0.003 inches. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians reach for this tape as a reliable thread sealing solution on threaded connections throughout residential and commercial installations.

This tape is applied to male threads on metal and plastic pipe fittings carrying water, gas, air, steam, hydraulic fluid, and many other media. It is commonly used on supply lines, compressed air systems, natural gas lines, water distribution piping, and HVAC refrigerant circuit fittings where threaded connections require a leak-free seal. The roll length of 1296 inches provides enough material for numerous connections per roll, making it practical for service vans and job-site toolboxes alike.

Key Features

• 100% virgin PTFE construction resists chemical attack across a broad range of media
• Pressure rating of 3000 psi suits high-pressure plumbing and industrial applications
• Temperature range of -450 to 500 degrees F covers cryogenic through high-heat service
• Elongation greater than 50% allows the tape to conform tightly to thread profiles
• 0.5-inch width fits standard 1/2-inch pipe thread applications
• 1296-inch roll length provides extended service life per roll

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style thread sealant for use on threaded pipe and fitting connections in plumbing, HVAC, gas, and compressed air systems.

Installation Notes

Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically apply PTFE thread tape in accordance with local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements. Wrap the tape clockwise around the male threads, starting at the first thread and overlapping each pass, before making up the connection hand-tight and then wrench-tight. Do not overtighten fittings, as this can cause thread damage and reduce seal integrity. Always verify system pressure ratings and shut down and depressurize the system before disconnecting or replacing any threaded joint.
