All-source 043057 Plumbers Putty Setting Compound

Product Description

The ALL-SOURCE 043057 is a plumber's putty setting compound designed for creating watertight seals around drains, bowls, rims, strainers, and faucet bases. The formula stays flexible over time and will not support bacteria growth, nor will it harden, shrink, crack, or crumble even if the container is left open between uses. It meets Federal Specification TT-P-1536A, confirming it against a recognized government performance standard. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers use this compound during fixture installation and replacement work where a pliable, long-lasting seal is required.

This putty is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It is appropriate for setting sink basins, drain strainers, basket strainers, and deck-mount faucets on non-porous surfaces. It is not approved for use on marble, synthetic marble, other porous surfaces, or on plastic lavatories and fixtures. Verify the substrate material before application to avoid staining or surface degradation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson following applicable IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and drain the line before disturbing any existing fixture seal. Roll the putty into a rope of uniform diameter and press it firmly around the fixture base or drain flange before seating. Always verify substrate compatibility before use, as improper surface application can cause staining or adhesion failure.
