Oatey Company 29045 Pipe Thread Compound 8 Oz Gray

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 29045 is a gray, thixotropic pipe thread compound formulated for sealing threaded pipe joints on lines carrying water, steam, or air. This non-drip paste fills and lubricates thread surfaces, creating a pressure-resistant seal that helps prevent corrosion on metal pipe threads. The lead-free formula meets modern safety requirements for potable water and general plumbing applications. Supplied in an 8 oz jar, it is a standard-service product used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters on residential and light commercial systems. The thixotropic consistency keeps the compound in place during application and assembly, reducing waste and mess on the job.

This pipe thread compound is suited for use on metal threaded pipe joints in water supply, steam distribution, and compressed air systems. It is applied to the male threads before joint assembly to create a leak-resistant seal. Licensed plumbers typically use this product during new installation and repair work on ferrous and non-ferrous metal pipe systems. It is not rated for plastic threads and must not be applied to plastic pipe fittings or couplings.
