Oatey Company 25230 Yellow Pipe Thread Compound 16 Oz

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 25230 is a yellow pipe thread compound designed to seal threaded pipe joints in gas and liquid service lines. Sold in a 16 oz jar, this slow-drying formula bonds to all metals and plastics, including PVC, CPVC, ABS, and nylon. It tolerates temperatures from -50 degrees F to 400 degrees F and is rated for gas service up to 3,000 psi and liquid service up to 6,000 psi. The compound never seizes on threads, which allows for easy disassembly during future service calls. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this product on both residential and light commercial systems.

This thread compound is formulated for use on lines carrying LP and natural gas, as well as liquid service applications. It applies directly to threaded fittings and pipe ends on metal and plastic piping systems. The slow-drying characteristic gives installers time to align fittings before the compound sets. Its compatibility with a wide range of pipe materials makes it a practical choice for mixed-material installations found in both new construction and retrofit work.
