Olifan Special Large-Diameter PTFE Tape

Technical specifications:

• Color: White
• Width: 19 mm
• Thickness: 0.2 mm
• Density: 0.4
• Weight per square meter: 80 g/m²
• Classification according to EN 751-3: G: coarse threads (10 < DN ≤ 50), i.e., for fittings from 3/8" (12 x 17) to 2" (50 x 60)
• Thread type: Suitable for tapered/cylindrical and tapered/tapered fittings (ISO 7-1)
• Maximum pressure / maximum temperature: 15 bar and 120°C with water (with or without additives). PTFE material alone has good dimensional stability from –260°C to +260°C.
• Pressurization: Immediate
• Organoleptic properties: Does not alter the taste of the water
• Chemical inertness: Insensitive to microorganisms, additives, and lye
• Repositioning: No (Caution, for example, regarding the presence of valves nearby, which could cause movement of the fittings during handling)
• Disassembly: Easy

Installation:

• Fittings must be clean, dry, and free of grease.

Instructions:

• Wrap the tape around the male threads in the direction of screwing, overlapping by 50%.
• Do not apply excessive tension to the tape while wrapping.
• At the end of the wrap, cut the tape and fold it back over the threads.
• Apply a pre-tension of between 50 and 150 N·m depending on the application.
• Immediate pressure restoration.

Standards:

Complies with standard EN 751-3: “Sealing materials for threaded connections in contact with gases of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd families and hot water – Part 3: Unsintered PTFE tapes.”
Raw material listed in the positive lists (Synoptic 8): may therefore be used in water systems intended for human consumption (drinking water).
