For the construction of engineering communications, non-metallic pipes are mainly used today, and plastic ones. But still, in pipelines and heating systems, threads continue to be used to connect sections to each other. Therefore, for their greater sealing, different materials are needed - from traditional to synthetic tapes. The "Record" pipe reel is a polymer-based thread impregnated with substances with sealing properties. Refers to the latest generation of seals.

Why choose the "Record" pipe reel
Previously, a flax strand was used as a thread sealant. This material was spelled out in SNiPs. But in practice it is difficult to apply it. A person must have some experience in plumbing work in order to properly use a flax strand. There is also another drawback - if the flax is not wound correctly or is not sufficiently impregnated, then the required level of pipe sealing cannot be achieved.
Record pipe reel can be used to seal engineering systems for any purpose. It is important that for an effective connection, an external thread should be made, while on fixed fittings and pipes it should be an internal thread. Hidden won't do.
Scope of the "Record" pipe reel
Winding can be useful in many situations - from the standard installation of the utility network to the elimination of emergency leaks. It can be used if there is no plumbing skills.
The sealant is suitable for sealing pipelines through which:
- drinking water;
- gas;
- compressed air;
- water for household needs.
Advantages of the "Record" pipe reel:
- installation is carried out even in non-standard conditions - on wet threads or at low temperatures;
- no additional training is required. Record polymer filament is sold in a box, complete with a small cutting knife;
- maximum sealing of the joints of engineering systems;
- polymer thread does not contain harmful components that could provoke allergies in humans when working with it;
- the product is certified for use in pipelines and heating systems.
In the event of a leak, the use of a reel will help to quickly cope with the accident. You can wind it up very quickly. At the same time, the polymer thread itself is resistant to vibrations and changes in temperature conditions.
Why "Record"
Polymer thread is suitable for sealing pipes, fittings from any materials - be it steel or plastic. It is allowed to be used for sealing heating systems, pipelines for supplying water and gas.
The "Record" pipe reel is a polymeric thread with a flat cross section, impregnated with substances with sealing properties. It contains no chemicals that can pollute or absorb water. The thread can withstand sudden temperature changes and is not afraid of high pressure. Also, the sealant has a SEZ for use in water supply systems.
Working temperature - from - 60 to +120 ° С. Sealing the joints of the pipeline is easy, and if necessary, removing the seal is also not difficult.
Advantages of rewinding for Record pipes:
- polymerization in a few seconds;
- the possibility of mounting on a wet thread;
- the thread does not swell under the influence of moisture, it does not collapse;
- it is convenient to carry out installation - even a person with minimal knowledge of the specifics of plumbing can handle;
- protects pipes from corrosion;
- affordable price - from 220 rubles.
Material consumption is shown in the table below.
Step by step use
Record pipe reel can be used to seal wet, partially destructive and rusty pipeline joints. But before carrying out work, the surfaces must be cleaned of contamination.
The end of the thread is wound closer to the edge of the fitting in the groove in the direction of the thread. Further, the turns lie crosswise. It is important that the center of the sealing material is thicker than the edges. After winding, the parts of the pipeline are connected. If part of the winding is squeezed out, the work has been done poorly. Disassemble the connection again and rewind the thread.
Instructions:
- The starting loop is fastened with an overlap.
- The seal is wound over the threaded projections with a slight overlap. For standard pipes, 5-6 turns are enough. For products with a large diameter, this number increases.
- The winding should be tight, not displaced.
- Twist the joint. If the thread is squeezed out, it is disassembled, the seal is wound again.
- The final stage is the adjustment of the joint by an angle of up to 180 °. This will not affect the tightness.
Where can you buy
The product can be purchased both in regular stores and on Internet sites. The price starts from 200 rubles for 50 meters. Usually this amount is sufficient to seal all joints of the pipeline, since the material is consumed sparingly.
Seal "Record" is a new product on the market, which is suitable for maximum sealing of heating systems and pipelines for various purposes. Manufactured in compliance with international standards and GOSTs. There are no dangerous chemical compounds in the composition.
