Review on HAUTMEC Sealant Plumbers Plumbing HT0123 ST by Aaron Shaw

Revainrating 5 out of 5

PTFE (aka Teflon) Plumbing Tape - 10 Rolls 1/2 " x 520 "

I received this product in exchange for my honest review through the Revain Vine program . Seller's Trademark: HAUTMEC lists this as "HAUTMEC 10 Rolls PTFE Sanitary Tape (White, 1/2 x 520") HT0123-ST". This is the item I use for all plumbing fittings that contain water threads. For example: washing machine hoses, water heater pipes, sink fittings, pressure washer/gun hose fittings etc. Figure 1 shows a pack of 10 reels. Pictures 2 to 4 are application examples. and that the brass nut can be screwed on. It is important to wrap very thin tape in the direction the threaded nut will turn. This will almost always be clockwise from the end of the thread. Applying two or maximum 3 layers of PTFE wrapped tape using light pressure tension to stretch it in a thread works best - then it can be cut or pulled to break leaving a torn edge. Screw the parts together and the result is a good seal that doesn't leak. DO NOT proceed as shown in Figure 6 where the PTFE tape overlaps the end. waterway. This can result in PTFE particles getting into your water supply or clogging the hole like a pressure washer. The tape is intended only for the threaded part of the connection. ADVICE. To ensure the best seal, do not attempt to reuse the tape after the bolted connection has been made - once it is unscrewed, remove the old sealing tape and apply a new one. enough for years of use. Highly recommended!
