Product details

SuperPro Teflon thread seal tape, part HTST520-1/2, in a 1/2 inch wide roll. It is the tape used on threaded pool and spa plumbing.

What it does

Wrapped onto a male thread before the fitting is made up, the tape fills the thread and lets the joint seal without being cranked down. On a pool pad that matters more than it does on steel plumbing, because most of what is being threaded together is plastic and a cracked port is a far bigger job than a weep.

Where it gets used

Pressure gauges, drain plugs, threaded unions and adapters, air relief fittings. It is one of those items that is only ever missing at the wrong moment, so a spare roll belongs in the kit.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What size is this tape?
1/2 inch wide, supplied as a roll.
What is it used for?
Sealing threaded plumbing joints. It is wrapped onto the male thread before the fitting is made up.
Why not just tighten the fitting harder?
Because pool plumbing is largely plastic. Tape lets the joint seal at a sensible torque, which is what keeps a threaded port from splitting.
Is this the right tape for a pressure gauge?
A pressure gauge is one of the fittings routinely sealed with 1/2 inch thread tape before it is screwed into its port.
