DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1) Hold roll in the palm of the hand. Lay end of tape dope on male
threads as close as possible to base end of threads. Hold end of
tape dope firmly and apply clockwise on standard threads
stretching tightly as you wind.
2) Continue to wind and stretch tape dope tightly so tape seats in
threads; once around on joints less than 2", twice around on 2"
and larger sizes.
3) Complete circle and overlap starting point about 1/2". Since tape
dope has no adhesive, be sure to continue holding tightly until
tape is firmly overlapped. Final wrap should not extend past
terminal end of threads.
4) Tear tape dope by pulling in the same direction as you were
winding until it separates. Smooth torn end by running fingers over
it in the same direction it was applied. Tape dope will adhere to
itself. Make up joint or connection in normal manner. Be aware
that 37)( has substantial lubricating qualities and over tightening
is possible if precautions are not taken.
Meets MIL-T-27730A (ASG)
Certified for gas by CSA.
Use tape dope for sealing threaded pipe, valves, fittings,
