Oatey Company 028010-144 Pipe Thread Compound 2 Oz

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 028010-144 is a gray pipe thread compound formulated as a thixotropic, non-drip paste for sealing threaded pipe joints. It is designed for use on lines carrying water, steam, or air, providing a reliable seal while actively protecting threads from corrosion. The compound contains no lead and comes in a 2 oz tube, making it a practical choice for field use by licensed plumbers and pipefitters. This type of compound is a standard consumable in both residential and light commercial plumbing work, applied at the connection point before threading fittings together.

This pipe thread compound is suited for threaded joints on water supply lines, steam distribution systems, and compressed air piping. Its non-drip paste consistency allows controlled application on vertical and overhead runs without sagging. It is appropriate for use in residential and commercial plumbing installations wherever metal pipe thread connections are present. Note that this compound is not approved for use on plastic threads and must not be applied to plastic fittings or plastic-threaded connections.
