City Plumbing sells a range of sealants available in a variety of types and colours and at some fantastically low prices. The type of sealant you need will depend on the specific application. So, consider factors like the material of the pipes, the pressure of the system, and the desired level of durability. By using the right plumber's sealant, you can ensure a leak-free and long-lasting plumbing system.
What Are Sealants?
Plumber's sealant, also known as plumber's putty or pipe dope, is a substance used to create watertight seals in plumbing systems. It comes in various forms, including paste, tape, and liquid, each with its own specific applications.
Common Types of Sealant
Plumber's Putty: A soft, malleable compound often used to seal around fixtures like sinks, tubs, and toilets. Putty works to create a watertight barrier between the fixture and the surface that it's attached to.
Pipe Dope (Thread Sealant): A paste or liquid applied to the threads of pipes and fittings to prevent leaks. It creates a seal that prevents water or gas from escaping.
Teflon Tape (PTFE Tape): A thin, white tape wrapped around pipe threads to create a seal. Teflon tape is a go-to choice for many completing DIY tasks, thanks to its ease of use.
What is Sealant Used For?
- Sealing threaded connections: Prevents leaks at joints between pipes and fittings.
- Securing fixtures: Creates a watertight seal between fixtures and surfaces.
- Preventing corrosion: Some types of sealant can help protect metal pipes from corrosion.
Important Considerations When Using Sealant
- Safety First: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and wear appropriate safety gear when using plumber's sealant.
- Compatibility: It’s a good idea to make sure beforehand that the sealant you choose is compatible with the materials you're going to be working with.
- Application: Apply the sealant evenly and according to the manufacturer's instructions.
