Oatey Company 017117B Ptfe Thread Seal Tape 1/2x520

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 017117B is a PTFE thread seal tape designed for use on threaded pipe joints across plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications. Made from virgin white Teflon at 0.4 density and 0.003 inches thick, the tape conforms tightly to male pipe threads to create a leak-resistant seal without hardening or cracking over time. It measures 1/2 inch wide by 520 inches long per roll, providing generous coverage across multiple connections per roll. The tape meets Mil Specification T-27730A and is rated for a temperature range of -400 degrees F to 500 degrees F, making it suitable for both low-temperature and high-heat service conditions.

This tape is used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters on threaded NPT connections in residential and light commercial installations. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas lines, compressed air fittings, and hydraulic connections where a tight, vibration-resistant threaded seal is required. The wide temperature range makes it appropriate for steam lines, refrigerant service ports, and cold-water applications alike. It is sold in a package quantity of 100 rolls per unit of measure.

Installation Notes

Applied by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on threaded connections. Shut off water, gas, or air supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded joint. Wrap the tape clockwise around male threads — typically two to three wraps — before making up the joint. Do not apply to female threads or use on flared or compression fittings.
