Oatey Company 017068-350 Ptfe Thread Seal Tape 1/2x260 in

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 017068-350 is a virgin white PTFE thread seal tape used to seal threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution systems. The tape measures 1/2 inch wide by 260 inches long with a thickness of 0.003 inches and a density of 0.4. It performs across a wide temperature range of -400 degrees F to 500 degrees F, making it suitable for both cryogenic and high-heat service lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians rely on this tape to prevent leaks at threaded joints on water, air, and approved gas lines. It meets Mil Specification T-27730A for consistent quality and material purity.

This PTFE tape is used on residential and light commercial threaded pipe connections including water supply lines, compressed air systems, and threaded fittings in HVAC applications. The 260-inch length provides generous coverage per roll, reducing the need for frequent restocking on multi-connection jobs. It is sold in packages of 25 rolls, making it well suited for wholesale restocking and job-site supply.

Installation Notes

PTFE thread seal tape is applied by plumbers and pipefitters working on threaded joints prior to assembly. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any existing connections. Wrap tape clockwise around male threads, overlapping each pass, and apply a minimum of two full wraps before threading the fitting. Refer to local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for approved tape use on gas-rated connections.
