Hemp - 50g

The Hemp 50g Plumbing Grade Sealing Fiber is an essential product for creating durable, leak-proof joints in threaded piping systems. Made from high-quality natural flax fibers, this product has been trusted by professional plumbers for decades due to its excellent sealing properties, flexibility, and reliability.

Ideal for use in both domestic and industrial plumbing applications, hemp is particularly effective when used with a suitable jointing paste. It provides a strong, watertight, and gas-tight seal for metal threaded pipe connections, ensuring long-lasting performance and resistance to pressure fluctuations and temperature changes.
