OATEY 31318 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is Oatey 31318 sandcloth used for in plumbing work?
It's an abrasive cloth for cleaning and prepping pipe before you solder or solvent weld. Oatey calls out deburring and roughing copper tubing or plastic pipe, which is the prep step that gets flux and solder to wet the joint properly. The 1-1/2 inch wide strip wraps around a tube so you can shoeshine the end and the fitting socket.
2) Is 120 grit the right coarseness for cleaning copper before soldering?
Yes for standard copper prep. The 31318 is a 120 grit aluminum oxide cloth, fine enough to brighten the copper without gouging the tube wall, and coarse enough to cut oxide quickly on both the tube end and the fitting socket.
3) Can I use this sandcloth on plastic pipe as well as copper?
Yes. Oatey lists it for roughing plastic pipe as well as copper tubing, so it works for scuffing PVC, CPVC or ABS ends before primer and cement.
4) How is the Oatey 31318 sandcloth packaged, and will it stay clean on the truck?
It ships as a roll in a dispenser box, which Oatey specifies to keep the abrasive clean in storage. That matters in a van: a loose roll picks up dust and cutting oil that smear onto the copper and interfere with flux.
5) What is the Oatey part number for the 1-1/2 inch 120 grit sandcloth roll?
Order Oatey 31318. That's the 1-1/2 inch x 25 yard roll in 120 grit aluminum oxide.
6) How much does a roll of Oatey 31318 sandcloth weigh for shipping or stocking?
The roll is listed at 1.05 lbs with a volume of 0.036. Light enough to keep several on a service truck or in an MRO crib without eating shelf space.
7) Does the abrasive cover the whole cloth or just part of it?
Full coverage. The backing is coated 100 percent with aluminum oxide abrasive, so every square inch of the strip cuts rather than loading up on bare patches.
