Pro Dope Pipe Joint Compound, Gray","description":"\u003cp\u003eHercules Pro Dope is a brush-grade pipe joint compound used to seal tapered threaded connections in plumbing, heating and mechanical piping. It is an oil-based, soft-setting thread sealant with a smooth, uniform consistency that stays put on the threads instead of running off the fitting during assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplied to the male threads before make-up, a pipe dope of this kind fills the spiral leak path left between engaged threads, lubricates the joint so it draws up tighter with less effort, and leaves a coating that helps the connection come apart again later without galling or seizing. Because it does not harden, the joint can be broken and remade during service work. The gray color reads as a close match to metal pipe on exposed runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer lists it for lines carrying water, natural gas (except oxygen), air, steam, ammonia, brine, and dilute acids and alkalis, and it is low odor, non-hardening and non-toxic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil-based, soft-setting thread sealant with a smooth, uniform consistency for drip-free application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-hardening, so threaded joints can be broken loose and remade for service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed by the manufacturer for lines carrying water, natural gas (except oxygen), air, steam, ammonia, brine, and dilute acids and alkalis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow odor and non-toxic; wipes clean from hands and tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGray color blends with metal piping on exposed work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalled out by the manufacturer for use with CPVC piping systems; confirm suitability with the pipe maker before using on PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFills the spiral leak path between engaged tapered threads and lubricates the joint during make-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrushed onto the male threads before assembly, the standard method for applying a paste thread sealant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded black iron and galvanized steel pipe joints in residential and commercial plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded connections on hydronic heating and steam piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompressed air lines and shop utility piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded fittings, valves, unions and nipples on gas piping installed by a qualified trade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService and repair work where a joint may need to be broken and remade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater supply and pump piping assembled with tapered pipe threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hercules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oatey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pro Dope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pipe joint compound \/ threaded pipe sealant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil-based, soft-setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brush on male threads before assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 OZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHercules\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Hercules","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55112690172243,"sku":"32628154278","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/7743\/4195\/files\/hercules-16-oz-pro-dope-pipe-joint-compound-gray-32628154278.webp?v=1790734462","url":"https:\/\/arch-9365.myshopify.com\/es\/products\/hercules-16-oz-pro-dope-pipe-joint-compound-gray-32628154278","provider":"ARCH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
