OATEY 20412 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is Hercules Glug crystal drain opener safe to use in a building with a septic system?
Yes, the Hercules Glug crystals are safe for septic systems when used as directed. They are a non-acid formula containing no phosphates or aluminum, and they leave no offensive after odor. One thing to keep in mind for multi-family or commercial kitchen work: do not use it in a drain with a garbage disposal.
2) Will drain crystals like this damage PVC or cast iron drain lines?
The Hercules Glug crystals are harmless to most metal and plastic pipe, valves and fittings, so they are intended for use in ordinary drain piping. It is a non-acid product rather than a sulfuric acid opener, which is why it can go into mixed metal and plastic waste lines.
3) What kind of clogs will Hercules Glug crystals actually clear?
Glug crystals dissolve grease, hair, soap, food and other organic material, so they handle the typical slow lavatory, tub and kitchen drain. The material compatibility is specifically soaps, detergents and hair. They will not do anything for a mechanical blockage or a solid object in the line, that is a cable or auger job.
4) Can I run Glug crystals down a kitchen sink that has a disposal?
No. The Hercules Glug crystal drain opener is specifically not for use with a garbage disposal. For a disposal-equipped sink, use a product cleared for that application or clear the line mechanically.
5) Do I need hot water to use Glug crystals, and will they harden in the trap?
It is a hot water formula that will not solidify in drains. That matters in a P-trap or a long horizontal run where a crystal product that sets up would just become the next clog.
6) Can property managers use this as a preventive drain treatment instead of waiting for a backup?
Yes, that is one of its stated uses. Besides clearing sluggish drains, the Glug crystals prevent clogs, so a scheduled dose in tub and lavatory drains across a portfolio keeps hair and soap buildup from turning into service calls. It leaves no offensive after odor, which matters in occupied units.
7) What size container does Oatey 20412 Glug come in and how much does it weigh for shipping on an MRO order?
Oatey part 20412 is a 16 oz container of Hercules Glug crystals, with a stated product weight of 1.2 and a volume of 0.035. The crystals themselves are white.
8) Is Hercules Glug meant for drain lines or can it go in a water supply line?
Drain pipe only. The stated application for Glug crystals is drain pipe, and it works by dissolving organic buildup in waste lines. It has no place in a potable supply line.
