Virax Filetfix III Thread Sealant - 262671

Virax Filetfix III Thread Sealant - 262671 The Virax 262671 Filetfix® III Thread Sealant is a professional anaerobic resin sealant designed for secure sealing of threaded pipe connections. Suitable for gas, water, air and petroleum systems, it provides a reliable sealing solution for plumbers, heating engineers and mechanical contractors working on suitable metal threaded fittings. Filetfix® III can be used on threaded connections in contact with town gas, natural gas, LPG, hot water, drinking water, air and petroleum products. Its fast-acting formula allows repositioning shortly after application while delivering strong sealing performance under pressure when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Professional Anaerobic Thread Sealant This high-performance thread sealant is designed to polymerise within the threaded connection, helping create a durable seal for demanding trade applications. It is especially useful where a clean, controlled and efficient alternative to traditional thread sealing methods is required. When applied to a Ø1" pipe installation at 20°C, sealing can be achieved after approximately 5 minutes, with resistance up to 50 bar under stated application conditions. Key Features Professional thread sealant for suitable metal threaded pipe connections Anaerobic resin formula for reliable sealing performance Suitable for gas, hot water, drinking water, air and petroleum product systems Repositionable for up to 3 minutes after application Sealing achieved after approximately 5 minutes on a Ø1" pipe at 20°C Pressure resistance up to 50 bar under stated application conditions Temperature resistance from -55°C to +150°C after polymerisation, depending on materials WRAS certified for potable water applications Complies with EN 751-1 Class H for threaded connections in gas and hot water systems DVGW approved for compatible threaded sealing applications CERTIGAZ NF RAC-GAZ / NF 540 certified for threaded gas fitting sealing materials Controlled dispensing tip for accurate application Ideal Applications Gas threaded pipe connections Natural gas and LPG installations Hot water and potable water systems Compressed air systems Petroleum product pipework Plumbing, heating and mechanical maintenance work Professional pipe installation and repair tasks Approvals and Standards Complies with Positive Lists / CLP requirements for drinking water contact Complies with EN 751-1 Class H DVGW approved for suitable threaded gas and hot water connections CERTIGAZ NF RAC-GAZ / NF 540 certified for threaded gas fitting sealing materials WRAS certified for potable water applications Application Guidance Before applying Virax Filetfix® III, make sure the threaded parts are clean, degreased and dry. A dry solvent such as acetone may be used for preparation where suitable. For threads below 2" diameter: apply a bead of Filetfix® III to the first two threads of the male section. For threads 2" diameter and above: apply to the first four threads and to the female part. Assemble the two parts and tighten using normal tools. Wipe off excess product thoroughly after assembly. After assembly and drying, do not unscrew the joint as this may affect the seal. Important Usage Notes Do not use on pure oxygen circuits. Do not use on steam circuits. Do not use on plastic materials. For brass couplings on hot water circuits, preliminary testing is recommended. Complete polymerisation is achieved after approximately 24 hours, or 72 hours for stainless steel. Polymerisation occurs from 5°C. Filetfix® III cannot compensate for faults or damage in the threaded fitting. Maximum gap should be less than 0.3mm.
