CHEMTOOLS Hydrolube Gas Line Superior Grade PTFE Thread Seal Tape (Yellow)
Hydrolube Gas Line Superior Grade PTFE Thread Seal Tape (Yellow)
Hydrolube Gas Line Superior Grade PTFE Thread Seal Tape is a heavy duty high density tape of 1.2g/cm3 which is generally used for critical applications such as natural gas or large, coarse threads. Made of 100% virgin PTFE material, it is resistant to most common chemicals and is ideal for sealing threaded pipe connections between 12.7mm (1/2 inch) and 50.8mm (2 inches) in diameter.
Withstanding extreme operating temperatures between -268oC and +260oC, the yellow colour of the tape provides a visual indication of its use in various gas-related installations, such as natural gas, propane, and also compressed air.
Meets Military Specification: MIL-T-27730 (Polytetrafluorethylene Tape for use on Liquid and Gaseous Oxygen Systems)
Further Information:
PTFE is a polytetrafluoroethylene tape commonly used in plumbing applications for sealing pipe threads. It lubricates, allowing for a deeper seating of the threads, thereby helping to prevent the threads from seizing when being unscrewed. The tape also works as a deformable filler and thread lubricant, helping to seal the joint without hardening or making it more difficult to tighten – instead, making it easier to tighten.
PTFE Thread Seal Tape is commonly used commercially in applications including pressurised water systems, central heating systems, and air compression equipment. It is designed for use on tapered/pipe threads where the sealing force is a wedge action, to ensure the most effective seal for the transport of liquids, gases, steam, and hydraulic fluid through pipes made from materials such as steel, brass, PTFE, nylon, bronze, and cast iron. Tapered threads form a seal when torqued as the flanks of the threads compress against each other, as opposed to parallel/straight thread fittings or compression fittings in which the threads merely hold the pieces together and do not provide the seal.
Tapered threads provide the mechanical strength, however, the main disadvantage is that voids in the connection can still remain once the mating threads are drawn together, resulting in the potential for leakage and galling, especially since there is no other sealing mechanism besides the thread themselves. Thread seal tape is thus required to seal any spiral leak paths or voids that may exist between threads on the fitting and the port, while also limiting corrosion on the threads, which otherwise can make future disassembly nearly impossible.

CHEMTOOLS Hydrolube Plumbing Thread Sealant
Hydrolube Plumbing Thread Sealant
Hydrolube Plumbing Thread Sealant is a high-performance anaerobic paste, suitable for use on all active metals without the need for priming. Its excellent thixotropic nature prevents migration of the sealant before or during cure to ensure the absence of system blockages. It is a Class III methacrylate ester compound offering an immediate low-pressure lock and seal, with a rated working gas pressure of 2,000 kPa.
Plumbing Thread Sealant cures in the presence of metal and absence of air. Displaying high resistance to leakage and loosening, threaded connections in fixtures, pipes, joints, valves, and fittings are bonded with a reliable, long-lasting, strong but flexible seal that withstands vibrations, pressure, and temperature variations commonly encountered in plumbing systems. Its potable water safe formulation protects against corrosion, while also being safe for use with gas, LPG, hydrocarbons, oils, and most common chemicals.
Australian Gas Association Certificate No. AGA 8831 G (Class III – Rated Working Gas Pressure 2,000 kPa)

CHEMTOOLS Rapidstick™ Pipe Repair Bandage Kit
Rapidstick™ Pipe Repair Bandage Kit is an easy to use, heavy-duty emergency kit that allows for the quick and effective permanent repair of damaged pipes requiring fast reinforcement to stop sudden leaks, cracks, or bursts. It is an essential kit for both plumbing repair specialists and DIY enthusiasts alike, and can be used to fix leaks in domestic systems, or for larger industrial pipelines. Being high performing and using high grade materials, it serves a dual purpose – for use as a temporary measure when immediate stop-leak fixes are required, or for long term peace of mind it can remain in place without needing further attention.
Providing an instant seal that prevents further leakage, minimises downtime, and halts potentially excessive damage, the strong and flexible highly durable bandage is made from corrosion-resistant material and can withstand high pressure and extreme temperatures. After cure, it is resistant to a wide range of diluted chemicals and fuels, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and oils, ensuring compatibility with different pipe systems.
The 3-piece water activated kit includes all the necessary components for a straightforward application. It can be used on various types of pipes, including metal, plastic, and rubber, with diameters ranging from small household pipes to larger industrial or commercial lines. When applied correctly the bandage forms a permanent long-lasting seal, offering a reliable solution until proper repairs can be implemented.
