Oatey 31228 Threaded Joint Compound 8 Fl Oz Gray

Product Description

The OATEY 31228 is a gray, non-hardening paste compound formulated to seal and lubricate threaded pipe joints. It stays workable after application, allowing for adjustment without cracking or crumbling. The non-separating formula maintains a consistent texture throughout the container. Non-toxic composition makes it suitable for use in occupied spaces where ventilation may be limited. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters apply this product to male pipe threads prior to assembly to create a leak-resistant mechanical seal on threaded connections.

This joint compound is used on threaded pipe assemblies in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It is well suited for iron, steel, and other common pipe materials where a reliable thread seal is required. The lubricating properties ease thread engagement and help prevent galling during assembly. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas lines where approved, and general threaded fittings across plumbing and mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off supply pressure and relieve line pressure before disassembling any existing joint. Apply compound evenly to the male threads before hand-tightening and wrench-making the connection. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, when selecting thread sealants for specific service types such as potable water or gas.
