OATEY 30014 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can Oatey No. 5 paste flux be used on potable water lines?
Yes. The Oatey 30014 No. 5 paste flux is 100% lead-free and stated safe for use in drinking water applications, and it carries NSF standard 14 (Performance) and standard 61 (Health Effects) certification. That is what plumbing inspectors and institutional specs normally ask for on domestic water copper.
2) Will No. 5 paste flux work on stainless steel or aluminum?
No. The No. 5 paste flux is effective on all metals except aluminum and stainless steel. For copper, brass and common plumbing metals it works fine, but for aluminum or stainless you need a flux formulated for those alloys.
3) Will this flux work with the lead-free solder we already stock?
Yes. Oatey No. 5 paste flux is compatible with common plumbing solder alloys, and it is a lead-free paste itself, so pairing it with a lead-free 95/5 or tin/silver wire for potable water is fine.
4) Is this flux suited to large diameter copper, like 2 inch and up?
Yes, that is its strength. The Oatey No. 5 is a smooth, non-runny petroleum-base paste, so it stays put on big horizontal copper joints instead of running out of the cup while you bring the heat up. Oatey calls it out for large diameter copper piping specifically.
5) Does Oatey No. 5 flux stain or discolor copper pipe on exposed runs?
It can be used on copper piping and other metals without discoloration, which matters on exposed runs in mechanical rooms or finished spaces where the pipe stays visible. The paste itself is amber in color.
6) What part number and size do I order for Oatey No. 5 paste flux for an MRO stockroom?
Order Oatey part number 30014, the 8 oz. jar of No. 5 paste flux. Each container weighs about 0.631 lb. One axis only on this item, so there is no finish or variant choice to specify.
