Tow and hemp - essential sealing materials

In the plumbing industry, tow and hemp are key materials.   They are mainly used to seal threaded connections. They effectively prevent leaks in water and gas installations. Their popularity is due to their simplicity of use and excellent properties.

Our offer includes a wide selection of hemp and tow. Different types and weights are available. Thanks to this, everyone will find a product suitable for their needs. We offer both traditional linen tow and modern substitutes.

Types of tow and hemp in Onninen's offer

Our wholesaler specializes in supplying high-quality materials. Our assortment includes:

• Linen tow - a traditional and proven material
• Hemp tow - an alternative to linen
• Hemp threads - for precise sealing
• Hemp fiber sealing tapes
• Sealing pastes with added fibers

We especially recommend Onnline brand linen tow.   This is our flagship product. It is distinguished by its excellent quality and competitive price. They are available in various weights from 80 to 1000 g.

For customers who value innovation, we offer modern substitutes. Synthetic fiber tapes effectively replace traditional tow. They are more convenient to use and do not require additional paste.

How to choose the right tow and hemp?

The choice of the right material depends on several factors. The most important are the type of installation and the diameter of the pipes. For standard connections in home installations, we recommend 80-250 g flax tow. For larger diameters, thicker 500-1000 g tow will work.

It is necessary to use certified materials for gas installations.   In our offer you will find products that meet all safety standards. For such applications we recommend special pastes with the addition of hemp fibers.

We often come across questions about the differences between flax and hemp tow. Both types have similar properties. Hemp tow is slightly stronger and more resistant to moisture. The choice depends mainly on the installer's preferences.

Our experience shows that it is worth stocking up on different types of tow. This allows you to choose the optimal solution for each task. In case of doubt, our advisors will be happy to help you choose the right products.

Practical uses of tow and hemp

In everyday practice, we see how versatile these materials are. They are used not only in hydraulics. Here are some examples:

• Sealing threaded connections in water installations
• Securing gas installations against leaks
• Sealing of connections in heating systems
• Repair of leaky taps and valves
• Electrical wire insulation (special hemp tapes)

Tow works particularly well in hard-to-reach places.   Their flexibility allows for precise filling of even small gaps. This feature is particularly appreciated by installers working in old buildings.

We recently used Onnline flax tow for a large housing estate project. It worked perfectly when installing over 500 water points. Installers praised the ease of application and effectiveness of the seal.

In the case of office reorganization, we most often encounter the need to modify the installation. Here, hemp threads prove irreplaceable. They allow for precise sealing even in a limited space.

It is worth mentioning the ecological aspect of using tow. These are natural, biodegradable materials. In an era of growing ecological awareness, this is an additional argument for choosing them.

Our observations show that the demand for tow and hemp is constantly growing.   Despite the emergence of synthetic substitutes, traditional materials are still appreciated by professionals. They appreciate their reliability and ease of use.

At Onninen we focus on a comprehensive offer. In addition to the tow itself, we offer a full range of accessories. Sealing pastes, Teflon tapes or hydraulic wrenches - you will find everything in our wholesaler.

For professionals, we have prepared starter kits. They contain tows of various weights and necessary accessories. This is an ideal solution for companies starting their activity in the installation industry.

Our customers often ask about the correct storage of tow. We recommend keeping it in a dry place, away from sources of moisture. Well-protected tow retains its properties for a long time.

At Onninen we focus on the quality and reliability of the products we offer.   All tow and hemp in our range undergo rigorous testing. This gives you the certainty that you are receiving the highest quality material.
