Unlike petroleum-based greases, it contains no petroleum product, which means it will not degrade rubber seals, o-rings, or plastic valve bodies on contact. The compound is non-hazardous and odor free, making it suitable for confined-space work without special ventilation requirements. Plumbers and service technicians use it to lubricate faucet cartridges, ball valves, gate valves, and similar components during installation or repair. Its silicone formulation resists melting at elevated temperatures where ordinary grease may fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis grease is appropriate for both residential and commercial plumbing applications. It is well suited for lubricating valve stems, faucet seats, rubber gaskets, and o-rings during routine maintenance or new installations. Its petroleum-free chemistry makes it safe for use in contact with potable water system components and compatible with EPDM, Buna-N, and similar elastomeric seals commonly found in plumbing assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSilicone-based formula will not melt like ordinary grease at elevated temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContains no petroleum product  -  safe for rubber and plastic components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-hazardous and odor free for use in occupied or confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for residential and commercial plumbing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact packaging for easy storage in a service bag or van stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on plastic and rubber plumbing components including valve stems, o-rings, faucet cartridges, and gaskets in residential and commercial water systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply this grease by hand or with a clean applicator to the component surface before assembly. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before servicing any valve or faucet. Use only the amount needed to coat the sealing surface  -  excess grease can attract debris inside the valve body. Installation should follow local plumbing codes and applicable IPC guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic (container)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.99 inches x 2.99 inches x 2.52 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePetroleum Content\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHazardous\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OATEY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40610\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OATEY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67589662376242,"sku":"40610","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/178730570.jpg?v=1790419622","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/oatey-40610-hercules-plumbers-silicone-grease","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
