Oatey Company 15620 Thread Sealant 0.5 Pint

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 15620 is a multi-purpose thread sealant formulated with a high percentage of PTFE (Teflon) content for superior lubricating and sealing performance. Sold in a 0.5-pint container, this soft-set compound requires no cure time, allowing treated joints to be pressure-tested and placed into service immediately after application. The brushable, non-separating formula will not run or drip from fittings, and it holds secure against vibration, thermal expansion, and contraction. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors reach for this sealant when they need a dependable, code-friendly thread compound on a wide range of pipe materials.

This thread sealant is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and general mechanical applications where metal or plastic threaded fittings are joined. It bonds reliably to galvanized steel, black iron, aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless steel, as well as PVC, CPVC, and ABS plastics. Its soft-set characteristic makes it a practical choice for systems that may require future disassembly, such as gas, water, and steam distribution piping serviced in the field.
