DIRECTIONS
1. Hold roll in the palm of the hand. Lay end of TFE Pipe Joint Tape
on male threads as close as possible to end of threads without
overlapping edge. Hold end of TFE Pipe Joint Tape firmly and apply
clockwise on standard threads stretching tightly as you wind.
2. Continue to wind and stretch tape tight so tape seats in threads. At
least one and half turns for joints under 2", twice around on 2" and
larger sizes.
3. Complete circle and overlap starting point about 1/2". Since TFE Pipe
Joint Tape has no adhesive, be sure to continue holding tightly until
tape is firmly overlapped.
4. Tear tape 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 will adhere to itself. Make up joint or
connection in normal manner. For heavy duty applications use Hercules
Tape Dope
®
high density polytetrafluoroethylene thread sealing tape.
