OATEY 15124 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of pipe thread sealant is Oatey Hercules Tape Dope, and what lines can it be used on?
Tape Dope is a thread sealing tape for threaded pipe joints, and Oatey lists it for pipes carrying acids, solvents, alkalis, steam, hot and cold water, LP gas, natural gas, oxygen and nearly every chemical. It is self-lubricating, so the threads pull up without added lubricant, and it is weather resistant for exterior runs.
2) Will this tape cause galvanic corrosion when I join dissimilar metals, like brass to galvanized steel?
It works against it. Oatey states Tape Dope has excellent dielectric properties that minimize galvanic action, and that it protects against chemical corrosive action. That dielectric separation in the thread is the reason plumbers reach for it on mixed-metal transitions.
3) How many wraps of Tape Dope do I need on a threaded joint?
Fewer than with a standard thin tape. Tape Dope is a thick tape, and Oatey states it requires few wraps to seal. It also breaks cleanly off the roll and does not shed, so you are not fighting stringy remnants on every fitting.
4) Is thread tape or pipe dope the better choice for a gas line?
Tape Dope covers gas either way, since Oatey lists it for LP gas and natural gas. The practical difference is handling: a tape gives you a clean, non-drip application and nothing to cure or wipe off, where a paste dope is easier to work into damaged or coarse threads. On a gas line the deciding factor is that the sealant is rated for the medium, and this one is.
5) Will Oatey Tape Dope dry out or crack in an unconditioned crawlspace or on an outdoor riser?
No. Oatey states Tape Dope will not harden, crack or crumble, and that it is weather resistant, which is what matters on exterior risers, rooftop lines and unheated crawlspaces where a paste sealant can skin over and lose the joint.
6) What is the Oatey part number for Hercules Tape Dope so I can reorder the same tape?
Order Oatey model 15124. That is the manufacturer part number for the Hercules Tape Dope roll, so an MRO or property maintenance buyer standardizing a truck stock or storeroom can reorder against that single number.
