OATEY 31232 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can Oatey Great White pipe joint compound be used on plastic threads, or is it metal only?
Great White with PTFE works on both plastic and metal threaded joints, so the same jar covers galvanized steel, brass, and threaded PVC or CPVC fittings. It is a non-hardening white paste, which means the joint can be broken apart later without fighting a cured sealant.
2) What pressure and temperature can Oatey 31232 pipe joint compound handle?
Rated to 3,000 psi on gases from -50F to 400F, and 10,000 psi on liquids from -50F to 500F. That covers hot water, steam and most mechanical-room service lines.
3) Will Great White pipe dope hold up on steam and caustic lines?
Yes. Oatey lists it for water, steam, caustics and diluted acid lines. The paste is non-hardening and non-separating, so it stays workable in the jar and in the joint rather than drying out and shrinking away from the threads.
4) Do I still need PTFE tape if I use Oatey Great White compound?
No separate tape is required. The PTFE is already in the paste, and the compound both lubricates and seals the threaded joint. Tape plus dope is a personal preference on tapered pipe threads, not a requirement of this product.
5) Is Great White pipe joint compound safe for potable water lines and will it stain fixtures?
The formula is non-toxic and non-staining, and Oatey lists it for water lines, which is why it is a common choice on domestic water piping in occupied buildings. The white paste wipes off chrome and finished surfaces without leaving a mark.
6) How much product is in the Oatey 31232 jar and how much does it weigh for shipping?
It is the 16 oz size of Great White, model 31232, with a listed product weight of 1.65 lb. That is the jar size most shops keep on the truck rather than the small 1/4 pint touch-up size.
7) Can I take a joint apart later if I seal it with Great White?
Yes. Because the compound never hardens, the fitting can be backed off with a wrench for service and the threads cleaned and re-doped. That is the practical difference from an anaerobic thread sealant, which cures in place.
