Value Collection 70886 Pipe Sealing Tape

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 70886 is a pipe sealing tape used to create leak-free threaded connections in plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications. Also known as PTFE thread seal tape or plumber's tape, it is wrapped around male pipe threads before assembly to fill gaps and prevent fluid or gas from escaping the joint. At 0.2 pounds, the roll is lightweight and easy to handle on the job. This is a standard consumable used by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and gas fitters across residential and commercial service work.

Pipe sealing tape is applied to threaded fittings on water supply lines, gas lines, compressed air systems, and hydronic piping. It is a standard step in any threaded pipe assembly where a reliable, pressure-rated seal is required. The tape conforms to thread profiles to reduce the risk of cross-threading and aids in disassembly during future service calls.

Key Features

• Seals threaded pipe connections to prevent leaks in fluid and gas systems
• Conforms to thread profiles for consistent coverage
• Lightweight roll at 0.2 pounds for easy field use
• Suitable for use across plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping applications
• Single-roll package quantity for straightforward inventory management

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard male threaded pipe fittings across common piping materials and system types including water supply, gas, and compressed air lines.

Installation Notes

Pipe sealing tape is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians as part of standard threaded fitting assembly. Shut off and depressurize the affected line before breaking any existing joint. Wrap the tape clockwise around the male threads, stretching it slightly as you go, and apply two to three layers for full coverage. Follow applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements, when sealing gas or potable water connections.
