Sharkbite 25406A Silicone Burial Wrap 2in X 10ft

Product Description

The SHARKBITE CASH ACME 25406A is a self-fusing silicone burial wrap tape designed to protect brass push-fit fittings installed in underground or direct-burial applications. Measuring 2 inches wide by 10 feet long and 0.02 inches thick, this tape bonds to itself without adhesives, creating an impermeable, watertight seal around fittings within minutes of application. The silicone material stretches up to 300 percent of its original length, conforming tightly to irregular fitting geometries. It is engineered to meet the wrapping requirement that SharkBite specifies for warranted underground connections, blocking soil contaminants, moisture, and corrosive ground conditions from reaching brass components.

This burial wrap is used in residential and light commercial plumbing wherever SharkBite push-to-connect brass fittings are installed below grade. Typical applications include service line transitions, irrigation system connections, and any underground copper or PEX fitting assembly where the manufacturer requires an impermeable wrap as a condition of the product warranty. The 10-foot roll length provides enough material to wrap multiple standard fittings per roll, and the 300 percent stretch ratio allows technicians to work quickly without pre-cutting.

Key Features

Compatibility

Specified for use with SharkBite brass push-to-connect fittings installed in underground burial applications where an impermeable wrap is required to maintain a warranted connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers following applicable local plumbing codes and manufacturer wrapping instructions. Shut off the water supply and verify the fitting connection is secure and dry before applying the wrap. Begin wrapping from one end of the fitting, overlapping each pass by at least half the tape width, and stretch the tape firmly as you wrap to activate the self-fusing bond. Do not backfill until the silicone has fully bonded, typically within a few minutes of application.
