No matter your pipe thread sealing job, we've got you covered. Oatey offers a variety of thread sealant tapes and pipe joint compound pastes. From Oatey's low-density PTFE tape to PTFE pipe joint compounds, these products can be used on all threaded pipe, valve and fitting types.

Product Information

White Plumber's Tape

Oatey plumber's tape made of virgin white PTFE provides a clean, positive seal on threaded connections for water or air fittings. Non-hardening, non-toxic, non-stick and non-flammable, it is safe for use on potable water applications.

Yellow Plumber's Tape

Manufactured especially for natural gas, propane, butane, water, oil and chemical lines, Oatey yellow plumber's tape is nonflammable and resists tearing and stretching for easy, efficient application on metal and plastic threads. It is heavier than white tape at 4 mils thick.

Joint Compound

Oatey joint compound is a non-hardening, non-separating, non-toxic paste that lubricates and seals on plastic or metal threaded joints, requiring no cure time for lines with pressure under 125 psi.

Key Features

Easy to Apply

Oatey thread sealants are simple to use and efficient to apply - Oatey plumber's tape resists tearing and stretching, and is packaged on spools in convenient dispenser boxes, while Oatey joint compound comes with a brush top applicator.

Ensures Dependable, Leak-Proof Joints

Oatey thread sealants lubricate and seal all threaded joints. Weather-resistant, flexible, low dielectric constant, chemically inert and usable at low temperatures, Oatey plumber's tapes perform over a temperature range of -450° to 500° F and up to 10,000 psi.

Versatile Applications

From low-pressure to high-pressure piping demands, from plastics to metals, as well as the market’s need for PTFE, Oatey offers pipe joint compound solutions for every type of job. Oatey PTFE tapes can be used on all threaded pipe, valves and fittings carrying acids, solvents, alkalis, steam, hot and cold water, LP gas, natural gas, oxygen and almost any chemical.

          A:  Yes. 

          by|Jan 25, 2022

            A:  It will work, but the yellow based Teflon tape is for propane fittings and connectors. The white Teflon tape is more suited for your application. 

            by|Jan 24, 2022

              A:  It can be used for this application. Please confirm with the snow blower manufacture for compatibility for their product.

                The application is a breeze
                It's sturdy, durable, and adheres perfectly to all the surfaces I used it on. The tape's thickness is just right - not too thin to rip and not so thick that it's difficult to manipulate. The application is a breeze, even for a non-professional like me. It smoothly wraps around the threads without bunching or tearing, making a tight, leak-proof seal every time.

                Works as intended!
                I've had this product on my LP gas line for over 3 years now that installed myself with no leaks. It's very easy to apply and I got it right the first time. It's very straightforward. Just make sure its wrapped neatly and tight on the threads. Also, make sure to check for leaks. This product did meet my expectations and I didn't find anything to dislike about it. Please hit the thumbs up if this was helpful.

                  Ran out of pipe dope so off to Home Depot I went. Chased down both pipe dope but more importantly a roll of this yellow teflon tape which is the latest and greatest sealant to use when you reassemble black gas piping. Stuff like this didn't exist over 20 years ago however pipe dope did which I was accustomed to using when installing gas stoves and replacement hot water tanks. Tape like this makes absolute sense especially if you are going to reuse black piping on failed leaking water tanks. Played it safe and used this tape followed by a film of pipe dope. No leaks, looks nice, and now I have alternatives when I misplace either this tape or pipe dope

                  This teflon tape works so much better at sealing and dosnt degrade super fast like the white tape. I use it on vehicle oil catch cans, so far no issues, just better sealing.
