Clessetite LPG JoinTing Sealent

Clesse (UK) Ltd has introduced Clessetite, a new jointing product, to its range of lpg regulators and equipment. Clessetite is designed to replace PTFE tape and jointing paste, and seals against pressure up to 4 bar in a few minutes, and cures to give resistance up to 20 bar after 20 to 30 minutes.

Kaz Dziamarski, director at Clesse (UK) Ltd, said: “Clessetite is suitable for metallic threaded pipework up to two inches, and has been used by both Clesse Industries and installation engineers on the continent for many years. It is now being made available in the UK.”

Clessetite conforms to BS EN 751 – sealing materials for metallic threaded joints in contact with 1st, 2nd and 3rd family gases and hot water.

“Unlike one-wrap PTFE tape, which puts fittings under stress to ensure tightness, Clessetite cures and solidifies quickly and perfectly fills the gaps between threads without stress, curing to form a perfect seal,” said Kaz. “Although anaerobic, it’s not a permanent locking compound and its formula allows the joint to be dismounted for later alteration if required. It comes in a convenient pocket sized container, is clean and economical compared to traditional jointing and achieves consistent results.

“The product is already finding favour following initial trials in cylinder and bulk pipework installations, and meter box and marine applications during the past year in the UK.”
