OATEY 31235 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can Oatey 31235 pipe joint compound be used on plastic threads like PVC or CPVC?
No. The Oatey 31235 gray pipe joint compound is not for use on plastic threads. It is made for sealing metal threaded connections only. For threaded plastic fittings, use a joint compound or PTFE tape rated for plastics instead.
2) Is this pipe joint compound approved for natural gas lines?
Yes, the Oatey 31235 compound is rated for gas lines at a maximum working pressure of 3,000 PSI from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F. On liquid lines the rating is higher, 10,000 PSI from -20 degrees F to 500 degrees F.
3) Will this compound work on a steam line?
Steam is one of the listed services, along with water and air pipe lines. The liquid-line rating runs to 500 degrees F at up to 10,000 PSI, so it covers typical low and medium pressure steam threaded joints on metal pipe.
4) Does Oatey 31235 harden in the joint, or can I break the fitting loose later?
It is a soft-setting compound that does not harden, so threaded joints stay serviceable and can be broken apart later. It also will not separate in the can, and cleanup is easy.
5) Should I use pipe joint compound or PTFE tape on threaded steel pipe?
Compound like the Oatey 31235 gray brushes into the thread and fills minor imperfections, and because it stays soft the joint can be taken apart later. Tape is cleaner to handle but gives you no fill on rough or chased threads. On metal threaded water, air, gas and steam connections the compound is the usual choice; on plastic threads neither this compound nor any metal-only dope should be used.
6) How much compound is in the Oatey 31235 container?
It is a 16 oz. container of gray compound, product weight listed at 2 lb including packaging. One pint typically covers a service call's worth of threaded metal joints, so MRO and multi-family maintenance carts usually stock this size over the small 4 oz tubes.
