Goodyear 5263 PTFE Thread Seal Tape, 3/4" x 260"
The Goodyear 5263 is a roll of PTFE (Teflon) thread seal tape, 3/4" wide x 260" long, sized for sealing threaded pipe connections.
Wrapped onto male NPT threads before assembly, it lubricates the joint for easier tightening and fills the thread gap to help prevent leaks at hose barbs, fittings, and plumbing connections.
Key Features
- PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) construction resists water, fuel, and most chemicals found in marine plumbing
- 3/4" wide roll for full thread coverage on common NPT pipe sizes
- Non-hardening, non-curing tape stays flexible and can be removed and reapplied when a fitting is serviced
Applications
- Sealing NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and adapters in bilge, fresh-water, raw-water, and fuel-vent plumbing
- General maintenance and repair when disconnecting and reassembling threaded marine plumbing
- Use anywhere a leak-tight, low-friction thread seal is needed on tapered pipe threads
Specifications
- Type: PTFE thread seal tape
- Roll Size: 3/4" x 260"
- MPN: 5263
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this tape work on NPT (tapered) pipe threads?
Yes — PTFE thread seal tape is the standard sealant for NPT and other tapered pipe threads throughout marine plumbing.
Q: Which direction should the tape be wrapped?
Wrap in the direction of the threads (clockwise when viewed from the end of the male fitting) so the tape tightens rather than unwinds as the fitting is threaded in.
