Can PTFE tape be used for hot and cold water?

Yes. PTFE thread seal tape is commonly used for sealing threaded connections in both hot and cold water piping systems.

PTFE offers excellent chemical stability and a wide service temperature range, making it suitable for many residential, commercial, and industrial water applications, including water supply lines and circulating water systems.

The actual operating limits should always be based on the specifications and approvals of the selected PTFE tape, as well as the requirements of the piping system.
