What is plumbing lube?

Often referred to as plumber’s lubricant or pipe joint compound, is a type of lubricant or sealant used in plumbing applications. It typically comes in a paste or gel form and is applied to the threads of pipe fittings and connections. Plumbing lube serves several purposes:

Thread Lubrication: it is applied to the threads of pipes and fittings before they are screwed together. It eases the assembly process by reducing friction, making it easier to tighten the connections. This is especially useful when working with metal pipes and fittings.
Sealing: In addition to lubrication, plumbing lube provides a tight seal between the threads of the pipes and fittings. This helps prevent leaks and ensures a watertight connection.
Corrosion Prevention: Some lubes contain anti-corrosive agents that protect metal fittings and pipes from rust and corrosion. This is important for maintaining the longevity of the plumbing system.
Temperature and Pressure Resistance: these are designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures and pressures, making them suitable for various plumbing applications.
Compatibility: Plumbing lubes are formulated for compatibility with various pipe materials, including PVC, CPVC, PEX, copper, and metal. It’s important to choose the right type of plumbing lube for the specific materials you’re working with.

When working on plumbing projects, especially those involving threaded connections, using this can help ensure a secure, leak-free, and durable plumbing system. It’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions for the specific plumbing lube you’re using to ensure proper application and performance.
