Oatey PP8542 Pipe Joint Compound 2 Oz

Product Description

The OATEY PP8542 is a pipe joint compound packaged in a 2 oz container, sold one unit per card. Pipe joint compound is applied to threaded pipe connections to seal against leaks and prevent galling during assembly. It is compatible with a range of threaded fittings and is a standard consumable in plumbing and mechanical service work. The compact 2 oz size is well suited for service calls and small repair jobs where a full-size container is unnecessary.

This compound is intended for use on threaded pipe joints in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters apply it during new installations and repair work on water supply lines, gas lines where rated, and mechanical piping systems. The single-card retail pack format makes it easy to stock individually or sell at point of service.

Installation Notes

Pipe joint compound is applied by a licensed plumber or pipefitter to the male threads of a pipe fitting before assembly. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before disassembling any existing joint. Apply compound evenly to threads and avoid introducing excess material into the pipe bore. Follow applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the specific piping system being serviced.
