Using Thread Seal Tape to Create a Watertight Connection

Thread sealant can be used for various applications that require a watertight and airtight seal. Thread sealant tape is simple to use yet effective when used properly.

Oatey brands offer a variety of thread sealant tape to provide a clean, positive seal on threaded connections. Before you begin, make sure you choose the right thread tape for your project. 

Remember, before applying any plumber’s tape, ensure your system is approved and compatible with the thread tape. You can find this information on the thread sealant container or check with your system’s manufacturer.
