Oatey Company 023020-48 Tfe Thread Sealant Paste

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 023020-48 is a TFE thread sealant paste formulated with Teflon for use on threaded pipe joints in plumbing and gas piping systems. The compound is a pure white, brushable paste that resists hardening after application, allowing for easier disassembly during maintenance. It is rated to withstand up to 3,000 psi on gas service and performs across a wide temperature range of -50 degrees F to 500 degrees F. This product is packaged in a tube and sold in cases of 12 units. Plumbers and pipefitters apply it wherever a reliable, code-appropriate thread seal is needed on metal or plastic pipe threads.

This sealant is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping installations. It is commonly applied to threaded joints on gas lines, water supply lines, and fittings where a non-hardening, serviceable seal is required. The brushable consistency allows even coverage on fine and coarse pipe threads alike. Its temperature and pressure ratings make it appropriate for a broad range of service conditions encountered in standard plumbing and gas work.
