Product Description

The ALL-SOURCE 043039 is a plumber's putty sealant compound designed for setting and sealing common plumbing fixtures. It remains flexible after application and will not support bacteria growth, nor will it harden, shrink, crack, or crumble over time, even if the container is left open. This compound is applied by hand during fixture installation and is a standard material used by licensed plumbers on residential and light commercial plumbing work. The 043039 meets Federal Specification TT-P-1536A, confirming it meets established performance standards for this product category.

This putty is used when setting sink bowls, drain rims, strainers, and faucets to create a watertight seal at the fixture-to-deck interface. It is suited for use on vitreous china, cast iron, stainless steel, and similar non-porous surfaces. It is not approved for use on marble, synthetic marble, other porous surfaces, or on plastic lavatories and fixtures. Plumbers reach for this compound during new fixture installations and service replacements where a pliable, long-lasting seal is required.

Installation Notes

Excess putty squeezed out during fixture tightening should be removed promptly with a clean cloth or plastic scraper to avoid surface residue.
