Hi there, RV and trailer owners. Today, we're going to be taking a look at Valterra's Thread Tape. Thread tape is used to seal up any pipe fittings, and it's particularly used in your water applications inside your motor home. It can help seal up any of these pipe threads as you tighten them together, because it takes up the gaps that it has in between the imperfections of the metal. That will completely seal them up, so that way when you turn your water on, you have no drips or drops coming out.You will get a large roll of it here. It has about a half inch thick width to it and you get a little bit over 43 feet of tape on here.
And it's pretty easy to apply. You'll just want to simply pull some off and wrap it around your threads and then pull it tight. When wrapping it around the threads, you do want to try to wrap it around the direction that when you thread it on, it's going to be continually tightening the tape around it. Normally, if you're going to be tightening this way, clockwise like that, you'll want to take your tape and wrap it around clockwise, so when you break off that last little piece, it keeps turning it tighter on there.We recently replaced our tank water heater in this trailer here with a tankless unit and we had to add some fittings here for our pressure relief valve and all of these needed to be sealed up properly. We're going to make sure we go on like this, go around and you don't need a ton of thread tape on there.
A couple of reps like this is plenty. We'll just pull it tight, and then we can thread this on.And that completes our look at and Valterra's Thread Tape.
