Clean-Fit 70202 1/2" x 1296" PTFE Thread Seal Tape – General Purpose Sealing for Threaded Connections

The Clean-Fit 70202 is a full-density PTFE thread seal tape designed for general-purpose use in sealing threaded metal or plastic piping systems. With a roll length of 1296 inches and width of 1/2 inch, it provides extended coverage for multiple joints, making it a practical option for both commercial and residential work environments.

Manufactured from virgin polytetrafluoroethylene, this tape is chemically inert and non-hardening. It conforms easily to thread profiles and maintains a tight seal under a wide range of pressures and temperatures. Suitable for use with water, air, steam, hydraulic fluids, and most non-corrosive liquids and gases, except oxygen systems.
