Pipe thread sealant sheath
View Patent ↗A pipe thread sealant sheath for producing a seal at a junction between a male threaded pipe and a female threaded pipe once the pipe thread sealant sheath covered male threaded pipe is interthreaded into the female threaded pipe comprising a hollow body having an open and a spaced apart and opposite closed end, the pipe thread sealant sheath having thickness sized for remaining intact while being applied to a male threaded pipe and having the closed end easily breached once the pipe sealant sheath has been applied to the male threaded pipe, the pipe thread sealant sheath being rolled upon itself prior to being applied to the male threaded pipe.
1. A method for applying a pipe thread sealant sheath to a male threaded pipe comprising;
A. manufacturing a pipe thread sealant sheath having a hollow body, the hollow body having a closed end and a spaced apart and opposite open end,
B. rolling the pipe thread sealant sheath upon itself such that the pipe thread sealant sheath has an essentially ring-like form,
C. placing the open end of the pipe thread sealant sheath over an open end of the male threaded pipe,
D. unrolling the pipe thread sealant sheath onto the male threaded pipe such that the pipe thread sealant will remain in place as the male threaded pipe is rotated to seat into a female threaded pipe,
E. breaching the closed end of the pipe thread sealant sheath.
