- Resilient to Temperature Variations:
- The hemp fibers have natural resistance to temperature changes, making them suitable for both hot and cold water systems.

Usage Guidelines:
- Preparation:
- Ensure the threads of both male and female fittings are clean and free from dirt, grease, or old sealant before applying the hemp.
- Application:
- Begin by pulling out a suitable amount of Belatori Plumbers Hemp from the 200g roll.
- Wind the hemp evenly around the male threads of the pipe in a clockwise direction (the same direction as the fitting will screw on).
- Avoid overloading the threads with too much hemp; a few turns around the threads are typically sufficient.
- Assembly:
- Once the hemp is applied, screw the fittings together, tightening by hand and then using a wrench to secure the connection. Make sure the hemp compresses and fills the gaps between the threads, providing a secure, leak-free seal.
- Checking for Leaks:
- After installation, turn on the water or gas supply and check for any leaks around the connection. If there are any, further tightening may be necessary, or additional hemp may need to be applied.
- Storage:
- Store the hemp in a dry, cool place to prevent it from becoming damp or deteriorating, as moisture can affect its sealing properties.
Application Suitability:
- Residential Plumbing: Ideal for use in home plumbing systems, such as connecting faucets, water pipes, gas pipes, and heating systems.
- Commercial Plumbing: Suitable for sealing pipes in commercial buildings, offices, or retail spaces, especially in gas and water supply systems.
- Industrial Use: Can be used in industrial pipework where threaded joints need to be securely sealed to avoid leaks or contamination, including in gas pipelines and chemical systems.
- Outdoor/Environmental Applications: Given its eco-friendly nature, it’s also useful in outdoor installations where natural materials are preferred.
Maintenance Recommendations:
- Inspect Periodically: Check threaded connections that use plumber’s hemp for leaks during regular maintenance. If any leaks occur, the connection may need to be resealed or re-tightened.
- Reapply as Needed: If the seal begins to degrade or if any parts of the hemp break down over time, it may need to be replaced or reapplied for continued performance.
- Avoid Over-tightening: Over-tightening connections may damage the threads or crush the hemp seal, causing it to lose its effectiveness.
