OATEY 30062 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can Oatey No. 5 paste flux be used on potable water lines?
Yes. Oatey No. 5 paste flux is lead-free and made for potable water systems, so it's the right choice for domestic hot and cold water piping rather than a leaded flux limited to non-potable work.
2) What makes the hot weather version of Oatey No. 5 flux different from standard paste flux?
The hot weather formula is built so it won't separate at temperatures up to 135 degrees F. That matters if the flux rides in a truck bed or a hot mechanical room all summer, where a standard paste can oil off and stop wetting the joint evenly.
3) Do I still need flux if I'm using pre-tinned fittings or lead-free solder?
Yes. Fluxing is a critical step in the soldering process regardless of the solder you run, because the paste cleans the oxide off the copper and lets the solder draw into the joint. Oatey No. 5 is a lead-free paste flux suited to potable water copper work.
4) Is Oatey No. 5 hot weather flux only for hot climates, or can I use it year round?
It is a general purpose lead-free paste soldering flux; the hot weather formulation only addresses stability in heat, holding together to 135 degrees F. Nothing in that limits it to summer or to southern jobs, so crews in Phoenix or Houston often just stock it as their standard flux.
5) How much flux is in the Oatey 30062 container?
Model 30062 is the 16 oz size of Oatey No. 5 paste flux, listed at a product weight of 1.192, with a volume value of 0.041. It's the jar size most plumbers buy for a repipe or a full rough-in rather than a single repair.
