MILLROSEBM70826 BM-70826 Ptfe Tape 0.5x1000 in Gas

Product Description

The MILLROSEBM70826 BM-70826 is a PTFE thread seal tape sized at 0.5 inches wide by 1000 inches long, engineered specifically for use on gas line fittings and connections. Commonly known as Gas Guard tape, this PTFE film wraps threaded pipe joints to create a leak-resistant seal on gas distribution systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this tape as a standard step in assembling threaded gas connections before pressure testing. Its extended 1000-inch length makes it well suited for job-site use across multiple connections without changing rolls.

This tape is intended for threaded gas piping applications in residential and light commercial settings. It is applied to male pipe threads before assembly to help seal connections on natural gas and propane distribution lines. Installers working on gas appliance hookups, meter sets, and branch piping runs will find the 0.5-inch width appropriate for standard pipe thread sizes commonly encountered in the field.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch width suited for standard threaded pipe fittings in gas service
• 1000-inch roll length provides extended use across multiple connections
• PTFE material is chemically inert and resistant to gas permeation
• Gas Guard designation indicates suitability for gas line thread sealing applications
• Compatible with threaded joints requiring a soft, conformable thread filler

Compatibility

Designed as a thread seal tape for use on threaded gas piping connections in residential and light commercial gas distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Gas line work must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with IFGC and applicable local codes. Always shut off the gas supply at the meter or main valve before disassembling or assembling any threaded gas connection. Apply tape in the direction of the threads, wrapping two to three layers snugly before threading the fitting. After assembly, leak-test all connections with an approved gas leak detector or soap solution before restoring gas flow.
