1/2" x 260" Thread Sealing Tape

Rheem AP10358 Yellow Thread Seal Tape – 1/2" x 260", Gas-Rated PTFE

The Rheem AP10358 is a gas-rated PTFE thread sealant tape designed for use on threaded pipe joints in natural gas and propane systems. Manufactured to meet the requirements of gas installations, this tape is engineered to provide a secure, leak-resistant seal on metal pipe threads used in residential and commercial applications.

Its yellow color provides easy visual identification for code compliance and field inspection. With a medium-density composition, the tape applies smoothly and resists tearing during installation, allowing for consistent and reliable performance across multiple fittings.

Product Features

• ✔️ Application: Suitable for use on natural gas, LP gas, and other hydrocarbon fuel systems
• ✔️ Material: PTFE-based thread sealant film
• ✔️ Color Code: Yellow – for gas line identification
• ✔️ Dimensions: 1/2 inch width x 260 inch length

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure all male threads are clean, dry, and free of oil or debris
• Wrap tape in the direction of thread engagement (clockwise), overlapping by 50% across 2–3 wraps
• Do not use excessive tape or wrap over thread ends; avoid over-tightening connections

Use Considerations

• ✔️ Designed for use with metallic threaded fittings (steel, brass, copper)
• ✔️ Not recommended for use on plastic threads unless approved by code or manufacturer
• ✔️ Not intended for oxygen service or potable water applications

Performance Overview

• ✔️ Gas-rated formulation helps prevent leaks in pressure gas systems
• ✔️ Non-hardening material eases future disassembly without thread galling
• ✔️ Provides corrosion protection between dissimilar metals

This tape is intended for professional use in gas piping systems. As with all fuel gas components, final installation should be verified for leak-tightness and compliance with local plumbing and mechanical codes.
