Oatey 31166 Plumber Putty 14 Oz Non-staining

Product Description

The OATEY 31166 is a non-staining plumber's putty formulated for setting drain frames, faucets, strainer baskets, and similar plumbing fixtures. Weighing 1.02 pounds per unit, this 14-ounce compound is engineered to work across a wide range of surface types, including granite, marble, and other porous and non-porous materials where standard putties can cause staining or discoloration. Cleanup is straightforward, making it practical for routine fixture installations. Licensed plumbers and plumbing contractors reach for this product when a reliable, surface-safe setting compound is required on finish-sensitive installations.

This putty is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where fixture components meet a finished surface. Common use cases include setting stainless steel strainer baskets in kitchen sinks, sealing faucet bases on stone countertops, and securing drain frames in bathroom vanities. Its non-staining formula makes it particularly well-suited for premium countertop materials such as granite and marble that are vulnerable to oil-based compound staining.

Installation Notes

This product is installed by licensed plumbers during fixture rough-in or finish work. Shut off the water supply and confirm the work area is dry before applying putty to fixture bases or drain frames. Roll the putty into a rope of consistent diameter before pressing the fixture into place and tightening fasteners to seat the compound evenly. Remove excess putty after the fixture is set and secured.
