The Speck PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Tape is a versatile sealing tape commonly used in plumbing, pipefitting, and other applications where a watertight seal is required. PTFE tape is also known as thread seal tape or plumber's tape.
This tape is made from high-quality PTFE material, which provides excellent chemical resistance, heat resistance, and non-stick properties. It is typically white in color and comes in rolls of varying widths and lengths to suit different needs.
The primary function of Speck PTFE tape is to seal threaded pipe connections, preventing leaks and ensuring a tight seal between pipe threads. When wrapped around the threads of a pipe fitting, the PTFE tape fills in gaps and creates a watertight seal, even under high pressure.
Speck PTFE tape is easy to apply and remove, making it a convenient solution for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. It is compatible with a wide range of piping materials, including metal and plastic, and can be used with various fluids, including water, gas, and chemicals.
Overall, Speck PTFE tape is a reliable and cost-effective sealing solution for a wide range of plumbing and pipefitting applications, offering excellent performance and durability.
Take a breath. I raised my irrigation pump about a meter off the ground. Constantly loosing prime, I check, rechecked and replaced the non-return valve on the inlet side. Online research pointed to the outlet siphoning out the prime due to the height. This vacuum breaker on the outlet side solved the problem 100% by allowing some air into the system, without draining the prime, as the water in the pipe dropped down to ground level, whenever the pump is switched off. No more priming issues.
