OATEY 45013 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is Oatey Hercules 45013 open mesh cloth used for on a plumbing job?
It's an abrasive cloth for cleaning and prepping copper pipe and fittings before soldering. The open mesh construction is non-clogging, so it keeps cutting instead of loading up with oxide and flux residue, and the cloth can be rinsed and reused. Made with resin-bonded 180 grit aluminum oxide.
2) Is 180 grit the right grit for cleaning copper before sweating a joint?
Yes. 180 grit aluminum oxide is fine enough to brighten copper tube and fitting sockets without gouging the wall, which is what you want ahead of flux and solder. Coarser grits remove more metal than a solder joint needs.
3) Will abrasive cloth hold up if it gets wet in a crawlspace or under a sink?
It will. The Hercules 180 open mesh cloth is waterproof and made for wet environments, so a damp basement, a dripping line you're repairing, or water left in a tube won't break down the backing the way paper-backed sandpaper does.
4) Can I use the mesh cloth on the inside of fitting sockets, not just the pipe?
Yes. Because it's cloth rather than a rigid pad, you can roll or fold a strip and work it inside a fitting socket, or wrap it around tube to clean the outside. The open mesh cuts on both faces, so a single strip goes further than a paper sheet.
5) What part number do I order for the Oatey Hercules open mesh cloth dispenser box?
Order Oatey part 45013. That's the 1.5 inch by 10 yard roll of Hercules 180 open mesh cloth in a dispenser box, and it ships as a single box weighing 0.53 lb.
6) Is this a good item to stock on a service van or in an MRO crib?
It suits van and crib stock well. The dispenser box keeps the roll clean and tears off only what you need, the cloth rinses out and gets reused instead of being thrown away after one joint, and at 0.53 lb per box it takes almost no shelf or bin space.
