Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the multifilament polyamide sealing wire on a threaded pipe?
Clean the threads and ensure they are dry and free from oil or debris. Wind the sealing wire evenly around the male thread in the direction of tightening, applying enough turns to fill the thread profile without overloading it. Then screw the joint together as normal. The cord compresses within the threads to form a tight, secure seal.
Is this sealing wire suitable for both water and gas installations?
The cord is designed for water, gas, and compressed air systems and is suitable for many threaded installations in these applications. Always check that its use complies with local regulations and approvals for the specific type of gas or system pressure involved, and follow any relevant installation standards.
Can I use this product on plastic pipe threads as well as metal?
The sealing wire can be used on many plastic as well as metal threaded fittings, provided the plastic material is compatible and the threads are in good condition. Avoid excessive tightening on plastic fittings to prevent damage, and always follow the fitting manufacturer’s recommended installation torque where available.
