Using Tape or Paste Sealants With Plastic & Metal Threads

Which Threaded Joint Sealant to Use?

• Tape sealants are more susceptible to improper installation

• Paste sealants are more likely to contain incompatible chemicals

• Either type – Paste or Tape - must be properly used but NEVER use both!

Spears® Recommends a Compatible Paste

Paste-type thread sealants fill the threads better than tape. Application is less critical,

as long as the sealant is compatible with the particular plastic used. Some “pipe

dopes” and pastes can cause chemical stress cracking. Spears® BLUE 75™ thread

sealant has been specially formulated and tested for use with these plastic piping

components.
