Oatey 40-601 Plumbers Grease 2 Oz Valve Stem Lubricant

Product Description

The OATEY 40-601 is a petroleum-based plumbers grease rated to 300 degrees F, formulated to lubricate and protect metal and rubber components in plumbing systems. Its water-resistant formula guards against corrosion on valve stems, faucet components, ballcock linkage, and similar hardware subject to moisture exposure. At 2 oz net volume, the container is sized for service-call use and fits standard tool pouches. Licensed plumbers and service technicians reach for this grease when a valve or faucet rebuild calls for a product that stays in place under heat and water contact.

This grease is applied during routine maintenance and repair of residential and light commercial plumbing fixtures. Typical applications include valve stem reconditioning, faucet cartridge installation, ballcock linkage lubrication, and any fitting or joint where a water-resistant, non-hardening grease is required. It is well-suited for work on ball valves, gate valves, compression faucets, and similar components found in potable and non-potable water systems.

Installation Notes

Application is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced service technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any valve or faucet.
