Application Tips
- Start 1–2 threads back from the end to help keep tape from entering the line.
- Wrap in the same direction the fitting tightens (typically clockwise when looking at the male threads).
- Use 2–4 wraps for most fittings; add wraps for larger or looser thread fits.
- Press tape into the threads as you wrap for better coverage and fewer bunch-ups.
Important Notes
- Not intended for use with natural gas or liquid propane applications.
- For some pool equipment connections (certain pump or valve ports), a compatible thread sealant may be preferred—follow equipment manufacturer guidance.

Maintenance Tips
- Always remove old tape before re-wrapping a fitting—stacking tape can prevent proper thread engagement.
- If a joint leaks, disassemble, clean threads, and reapply fresh tape (and confirm fitting isn’t cracked).
- Store rolls clean and dry; keep debris off the tape to avoid contamination in the threads.
