Oatey 23015-48 Tfe Paste Thread Sealant 1 Fl Oz

Product Description

The OATEY 23015-48 is a TFE paste thread sealant and lubricant formulated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) for use on threaded pipe joints. It applies to clean male pipe threads and creates a pressure-resistant, non-hardening seal that resists system pressures up to 10,000 psi and temperatures ranging from -100 degrees F to 600 degrees F. The compound is pure white and ships in a 1 fl oz tub. Plumbers and pipefitters use it across a wide range of heavy-duty piping applications where a reliable, all-purpose thread sealant is required.

This sealant is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic, and general piping systems. It is compatible with metal pipe threads as well as plastic pipe materials including PVC, CPVC, ABS, polypropylene, and nylon. It is not approved for use on fluorine or oxygen systems. PTFE tape should be used on oxygen service lines instead. The 1 fl oz tub format is practical for service technicians and plumbers working on small to mid-size jobs or for carrying in a service kit.

Installation Notes

Applied by licensed plumbers and pipefitters to clean, dry male pipe threads before assembly. Ensure threads are free of oil, dirt, and debris before application. Shut off and depressurize the system before disassembling any existing joints. Do not use on fluorine or oxygen systems - consult applicable plumbing codes including the IPC for sealant-specific restrictions on specialized gas and fluid service.
