Oakum is a traditional fibrous packing material that has been used for decades in cast iron drain, waste, and vent pipe joints, as well as in driveway expansion joints and window frame caulking. The oil treatment helps the material compress and seal effectively when packed into a joint. This product is sold as an individual unit and is a standard supply item for licensed plumbers and general contractors working on both new construction and repair projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrown oakum is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing for sealing hub-and-spigot cast iron pipe joints before pouring molten lead or applying a mechanical joint compound. It also sees use in masonry and construction for filling expansion joints in driveways and caulking around window frames. Any plumber working with older cast iron drain systems or restoring period-appropriate infrastructure will recognize this as a standard caulking supply. It is sold in individual 1-pound units, making it straightforward to stock for service vans or supply rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOil-treated jute construction promotes compression and sealing performance in packed joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for sealing hub-and-spigot cast iron pipe joints in DWV systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlso applicable for driveway expansion joint filling and window frame caulking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a 1-pound unit for flexible quantity management\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTraditional material compatible with lead-pour and mechanical joint finishing methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard packing material for hub-and-spigot cast iron drain, waste, and vent pipe joints, as well as general construction caulking applications including driveway expansion joints and window frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOakum installation in cast iron pipe joints is typically performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Before packing oakum into a joint, ensure flow through the line is stopped and the work area is clear. Pack the oakum firmly and evenly into the hub using a yarning iron and hammer before applying the finishing joint material. Do not over-pack or leave voids, as either condition can compromise the seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oil Treated Jute\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sioux Chief Mfg Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 963-15PK2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SIOUX CHIEF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524757422386,"sku":"963-15PK2","price":332.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/96fdbb040721f4840882a6282eeadd06.jpg?v=1785456971","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sioux-chief-963-15pk2-brown-oakum-1-lb-pipe-sealing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
