Oatey Company 50010 Heat Proof Grease Tube

Product Description

The OATEY COMPANY 50010 is a heat proof grease supplied in a tube format, designed for use in plumbing applications where components are exposed to elevated temperatures. Heat proof grease of this type is applied to faucet stems, valve seats, O-rings, and other plumbing parts to reduce wear, prevent seizing, and maintain smooth operation under thermal stress. It is a standard consumable used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters during installation, repair, and maintenance work on residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This grease is suited for applications involving hot-water service, mixing valves, and stem-type faucet assemblies where standard petroleum-based lubricants would break down or degrade. Plumbers apply it during valve rebuilds, cartridge replacements, and seat repairs to extend component life and ensure leak-free reassembly. It is packaged individually as a single tube unit, with a package quantity of 12 units per case, making it practical for shop stock and service van inventory.

Key Features

• Heat proof formulation resists breakdown at elevated temperatures common in hot-water plumbing systems
• Tube packaging allows controlled application and easy storage in a tool bag or service kit
• Suitable for use on O-rings, valve stems, cartridges, and faucet seats
• Sold as a single unit with case quantity of 12 for restocking convenience

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style lubricant for use in residential and light commercial plumbing valve and faucet service applications.

Installation Notes

Applied by licensed plumbers during valve and faucet repair or rebuild procedures. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any valve or faucet assembly. Apply a thin, even coat to O-rings, stems, and seating surfaces before reassembly. Follow all applicable IPC guidelines for materials used in potable water systems.
