Value Collection 3195065 Gore-tex Joint Sealant

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3195065 is a Gore-Tex joint sealant designed for sealing flange connections in plumbing, industrial piping, and mechanical systems. The sealant comes in a 15-foot length and measures 0.625 inches wide, with an approximate flange form width of 1.625 to 2 inches once compressed into position. Made from expanded PTFE (Gore-Tex), it conforms to irregular flange surfaces and creates a reliable, chemical-resistant seal without adhesives or separate gasket cutting. Plumbers and pipefitters typically install this material on flat-face or raised-face flanges across a wide range of service applications.

This sealant is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems, as well as industrial process piping where flange sealing is required. It performs well in applications involving water, chemicals, and gases where a conformable, non-hardening PTFE seal is preferred over a cut gasket. The rope-style format allows the installer to apply it directly to the flange face and bolt up without additional preparation. It is appropriate for both new installations and maintenance work on existing flanged connections.

Key Features

• Gore-Tex expanded PTFE construction for chemical resistance and conformability
• 15-foot length provides enough material for multiple flange applications per roll
• 0.625-inch width with 1.625 to 2-inch approximate flange form width after compression
• No adhesive required — wraps directly onto flange face and seats under bolt load
• Non-hardening design maintains seal integrity over repeated thermal cycles

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-application joint sealant for flanged pipe connections in plumbing and mechanical systems where expanded PTFE rope gasket material is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on flanged connections. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line before disturbing any flange joint. Wrap the sealant around the flange face, overlapping the ends, then compress by tightening flange bolts evenly in a cross pattern to the torque specified by the flange and fastener manufacturer. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the system type being serviced.
