OATEY 30600 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is Oatey 30600 pipe lubricant actually used for?
It's a soft, paste-like lubricant for bell joint pipe gaskets, the kind of gasketed push-on joint you make up on cast iron, clay, or plastic bell-and-spigot pipe. You brush or wipe it on the gasket and spigot end so the pipe seats without rolling or tearing the gasket. It is not a thread sealant and not a solder flux.
2) Will Oatey 30600 gasket lubricant damage rubber gaskets?
No. The 30600 lubricant will not deteriorate natural or synthetic rubber, so it is safe on the elastomeric gaskets used in bell joint pipe. It also will not support bacteria growth in the joint.
3) Can I use this pipe lubricant on a potable water line?
Yes. The Oatey 30600 lubricant is NSF listed to Standard 61, which is the health-effects standard for products in contact with drinking water, and the material is non-toxic. It also dissolves in hot water, so residue flushes out of the line rather than sitting in it.
4) Can this gasket lubricant be used in freezing weather on an outdoor pipe job?
It can be applied from -10 F to 150 F, so winter trench work and hot summer installs are both inside its range. It also adheres to wet surfaces, which matters when the pipe or gasket comes out of a muddy or damp ditch and you can't get it dry.
5) Does the pipe or gasket have to be dry before applying Oatey 30600?
No. The lubricant adheres to both wet and dry surfaces, so you can apply it to a gasket that's still damp from rain or trench water without wiping it down first.
6) Is Oatey 30600 the same thing as pipe joint compound or solder flux?
No, and substituting one for the other causes problems. The 30600 is a gasket lubricant for push-on bell joints, an amber paste meant to let the spigot slide past the rubber ring. Pipe joint compound seals threaded connections, and flux is for sweating copper. If you need a thread sealant or a soldering flux, order those separately.
7) What size container does the Oatey 30600 come in and how heavy is it?
The 30600 is a 32 oz (1 quart) container of gasket lubricant, listed at a product weight of 2.05 pounds. One container covers a good number of joints since the paste goes on as a thin film on the gasket and spigot end.
