Tapping and Threading Lubricants

Use these lubricants for easier and faster tapping, cutting, and threading of hard and thick material. They reduce friction between your cutting tool and workpiece to make cutting cycles faster and easier, improve surface finishes, and extend tool life. Use at full strength.

Ridgid


Aerosol Can	Jug	Pail	Ridgid

Use Ridgid lubricants to cut external threads into pipe. They’re chlorine free, for use where chlorine waste disposal is a concern, and halogen free. They’re often used with Ridgid pipe and conduit threaders.

Ridgid Endura-Clear—Ridgid Endura-Clear extends the life of dies and other thread-cutting tools. It’s chemically compatible with products in the FBC System Compatible Program.

Ridgid Extreme Performance—Use Ridgid Extreme Performance on hard metal such as stainless steel.

Sulfur Additive—Lubricants with sulphur handle high pressure.

Non-Hardening High-Temperature Thread Sealants

Tube

Often used in high-vibration applications that could cause standard thread sealants to fail, these never fully harden and remain pliable enough to self-heal and stop leaks before they start. They have low locking strength, so they can be adjusted without tools.

Thread Sealant Tape

Made of PTFE, this tape has a slippery surface that keeps threads from binding to make parts easy to assemble.

ePTFE with Graphite—ePTFE tape with graphite creates a better seal between threads than plain PTFE tape, which helps prevent fluid and gas leaks. The graphite attaches to the PTFE, so this tape does not emit harmful VOCs.
