OATEY 15120 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will Oatey Megatape PTFE tape work on gas connections and stainless steel pipe?
Megatape seals threads on virtually any piping system, including stainless steel, cast iron, PVC, CPVC and ABS pipe, brass and chrome fittings, and gas connections. It's chemically inert, so it isn't limited to water lines. For gas work, follow whatever your local code requires for the specific fuel and joint.
2) What is the difference between gray Megatape and the standard white or yellow PTFE tape?
Density and appearance. Megatape runs 3.5 mils thick and carries more PTFE than most tapes, so it seals with fewer wraps and resists tearing while you pull it around the threads. The gray color is the other reason plumbers pick it: on chrome or stainless steel fittings it blends where white, yellow, blue or orange tape shows at the joint. Standard white tape is thinner and typically needs more wraps to build the same seal.
3) Is gray PTFE tape a thread sealant or a lubricant, and can I use it instead of pipe dope?
Megatape is a thread-sealing tape, not a paste. It's an all-purpose professional-grade PTFE tape that seals the thread on assembly, and because it's chemically inert it won't attack the pipe or fitting material. Plenty of trades use tape alone on tapered threads; where a job spec calls for a pipe joint compound, use the compound the spec names.
4) How many wraps of Megatape do I need on a threaded joint?
Fewer than you'd use with standard tape. At 3.5 mils of high-density PTFE, Megatape builds the seal in fewer wraps and resists tearing when you pull it tight, which is the practical reason it goes on faster on a service call. Wrap in the direction the fitting threads on so the tape doesn't unwind as you make up the joint.
5) Which PTFE tape should I stock for a maintenance shop that works on chrome fixtures?
Gray is the one to standardize on where exposed chrome or stainless is involved, because the tape doesn't show white at the joint the way the common colors do. One roll of 15120 carries 1,000 inches at 1 inch wide, so a truck or shop cart isn't reloading it every week, and the same tape covers copper adapters, PVC, CPVC, ABS, cast iron, brass and gas connections rather than needing a separate roll per system.
6) What is the Oatey part number for the 1 inch gray Megatape?
Order it as Oatey 15120, the Hercules Megatape 1 inch by 1,000 inch gray PTFE tape. Oatey uses separate numbers for the 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch widths, so 15120 specifically identifies the 1 inch roll.
