Thred Taper™ Features and Benefits
Advantages:
- Can apply 2-5 wraps of PTFE tape
- Virtually eliminates leaks
- Increases component reliability
- Fittings can be pre-wrapped with PTFE tape to eliminate field installation problems
- Tape dispenser applies 3/16”, 1/4”, 3/8” or 1/2” PTFE tape so you can use the proper width for a part
- Wraps American Tapered, British Straight and Metric Threads
- No messy liquid pipe thread sealants or pipe dope
- Parts wrapped with our high quality PTFE tape can be pressure-tested instantly
Improves Quality:
- Prevents shredding of PTFE tape into critical systems by maintaining
a consistent “set back” from the fitting end
- Threaded rollers run the PTFE tape deep into the thread root
for proper sealing of pipes, fittings, valves, & other threaded
parts
- Ensures a superior bond which will not unwrap during storage
or shipping
- Eliminates reverse wrapping, a common cause of leaks with hand-wrapped fittings
Reduces Cost:
- Automatic PTFE tape machine wraps parts in about 3 seconds vs. up to 30 seconds per part with hand wrapping
- Measured PTFE tape dispenser reduces tape usage and waste by using the proper amount of PTFE tape and controlling the number of wraps
