Product Description
The MILL-ROSE 70820 is a 3-wrap yellow gas thread seal tape designed for use on threaded pipe connections in gas distribution systems. Yellow gas tape is color-coded per industry convention to identify its suitability for gas service, distinguishing it from standard white PTFE tape used on water lines. This tape wraps around male pipe threads before assembly to create a pressure-resistant, leak-minimizing seal. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters working on natural gas and liquid propane piping systems.
This tape is used on threaded gas pipe fittings in residential and light commercial installations. Typical applications include connections at gas meters, appliance shutoff valves, drip legs, flexible connectors, and black iron pipe joints. The 3-wrap designation indicates the recommended number of wraps for proper thread coverage and seal integrity. It is suited for new installations and for remaking existing threaded joints during service calls or system modifications.

Installation Notes
Gas thread seal tape is installed by licensed plumbers or gas fitters in accordance with local codes and IFGC requirements. Always shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure at the joint before disassembling or remaking any threaded connection. Wrap tape clockwise around male threads, in the direction of thread engagement, to prevent unraveling during assembly. After completing the connection, perform a leak test using an approved bubble solution or gas leak detector before returning the system to service.
