OATEY 20310 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does Hercules Sizzle actually dissolve in a drain line?
Sizzle is a hydrochloric acid based drain and scale solvent that dissolves inorganic deposits restricting water and waste flow, plus scale and mineral build-up in water, waste, heating, processing and air conditioning systems. It also clears plaster, grout and concrete obstructions, which is why it turns up on new construction punch lists where a line got contaminated during the pour. It is an acid, not an enzyme or caustic, so it works on mineral and cementitious blockages rather than grease or hair.
2) Is Hercules Sizzle safe on copper and brass pipe, or will it eat the fixtures?
The formula is virgin hydrochloric acid blended with corrosion inhibitors and a foam suppressant, and it can be safely used with iron, steel, copper, brass, bronze and lead fixtures. That covers most of what a property manager has in an older building, mixed copper supply and cast iron waste included. The inhibitor package is the reason a raw acid you would not put near a copper trap is usable here.
3) What is the Saf-T-Por spout on the Oatey 20310 for?
Every 1 gallon Sizzle jug ships with the SAF-T-POR spout, which lets you pour straight into a drain opening or cleanout with pinpoint placement and without hazardous splashing. With an acid this strong, the splash is the hazard, and the spout is what keeps it off the fixture, the floor and the tech. It is included, so there is nothing separate to order to pour it safely.
4) Should I use an acid drain opener like Sizzle or a caustic one for a slow floor drain?
Match the chemistry to the blockage. Sizzle is hydrochloric acid with a foam suppressant, and its target is inorganic: scale, salts, mineralized deposits, slime, corrosion, plus plaster, grout and concrete. If the line is slow because of hard water scale, a mineral crust, or construction debris, this is the right class of product. If the stoppage is organic, grease from a kitchen line or hair in a lavatory trap, an acid is the wrong tool and a caustic or enzyme product does that work.
5) Can Sizzle be used to descale a boiler, chiller or heat exchanger, or is it only for drains?
Both. Beyond drain pipe use, the formula dissolves scale and mineral build-up out of water, waste, heating, processing and air conditioning systems, and it cleans heating, cooling and plumbing equipment and tools. For an MRO crew that means one gallon covers a scaled condenser circuit and a plugged floor drain rather than stocking two chemicals. The same inhibitor package that protects copper and brass fixtures applies when it is circulating through equipment.
6) How much product is in the Oatey 20310 Sizzle jug and what does it weigh?
One gallon per jug, listed at 10 pounds and 0.224 cubic feet of volume. Ten pounds is a single-hand carry, so a service tech can keep one on the truck without it becoming a two-man item, and the cubic volume is what you need if you are palletizing a case quantity for a facility stockroom.
7) What is the exact part number to order Hercules Gallon Sizzle?
Oatey Hercules Gallon Sizzle with the Saf-T-Por spout is manufacturer part number 20310. That is a single configuration, one gallon with the spout, so there is no size or strength option to specify on the order. Distributors setting up a line item should use 20310 as written.
8) What does Sizzle look like going in, and will it stain a fixture?
Sizzle is a clear liquid. There is no dye or pigment in it to leave a colored mark on porcelain or a stainless sink, though it is an inhibited hydrochloric acid and belongs in the drain opening rather than sitting on a finished surface. The included spout is what keeps it in the pipe and off the fixture.
