Sioux Chief 963-15PK2 Brown Oakum Pipe Packing, 1# Bag

Sioux Chief Brown Oakum Pipe Packing is a traditional caulking fiber used to pack spigot-type cast iron pipe and fittings ahead of lead or caulking compound at the hub. Supplied in cut lengths in a 1# (one-pound) bag, this oakum is sized for direct use at the joint without additional trimming on the job site, so a crew can pull a length and get straight to packing. It is manufactured in the United States and packaged 20 EA per case, making it easy for rough-in and service plumbers to keep stocked for cast iron DWV soil pipe work on both new construction and repair calls.

Key Features

• Cast Iron Joint Packing: Brown oakum is used to pack spigot-type cast iron pipe and fittings before the hub-and-spigot joint is sealed with caulking compound or poured lead.
• Cut Lengths: Supplied in pre-cut lengths rather than a loose coil, giving consistent, ready-to-use packing at the joint without extra trimming or measuring in the field.
• Natural Fiber Packing: Brown oakum construction provides a traditional, dense fiber packing material that seats firmly in the hub before the joint is finished.
• 1# Bag: Packaged in a 1-pound (1#) bag, a practical quantity for a service truck or a repair job on cast iron soil pipe.
• Case Packaging: Packed 20 EA per case for stocking plumbing trucks, vans, and shop shelves without breaking bulk on every job.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured in the United States for consistent quality and availability.
