Question 1

How much lubricant does the 800g container typically cover?

Accepted Answer

An 800g container will typically lubricate 40-50 standard pipe joints, depending on pipe diameter and fitting type. Larger diameter pipes (150mm+) will use more product per joint than smaller domestic drainage pipes.

Question 2

Can I use this lubricant on potable water pipe systems?

Accepted Answer

No, this lubricant is specifically designed for underground drainage systems only and should not be used on drinking water supply pipes. Use appropriate potable water-safe lubricants for drinking water applications.

Question 3

Will this lubricant affect the long-term seal integrity of rubber gaskets?

Accepted Answer

No, the FloPlast KPSL formula is designed to be gasket-safe and won't degrade rubber seals over time. It provides lubrication during installation without compromising the watertight seal once cured.

Question 4

How long do I have to work with joints after applying this lubricant?

Accepted Answer

You have approximately 10-15 minutes working time before the lubricant begins to set. Work efficiently but don't rush, as proper alignment is crucial for effective sealing.

Question 5

Does this lubricant need to be completely removed after installation?

Accepted Answer

No removal is necessary as the lubricant is water-soluble and will naturally dissolve over time. However, excess lubricant on external surfaces should be rinsed away for cleanliness.

Question 6

What's the minimum temperature for using this lubricant effectively?

Accepted Answer

The lubricant performs best above 5°C, though it can be used in colder conditions with reduced effectiveness. In very cold weather, warm the container slightly to improve application consistency.

Question 7

Can this lubricant be used on all PVC-U pipe brands or just FloPlast?

Accepted Answer

This lubricant is suitable for all standard PVC-U underground drainage systems, not just FloPlast products. It works with most major pipe and fitting manufacturers that use rubber ring seal systems.

Question 8

How should I store the container once opened to prevent it drying out?

Accepted Answer

Keep the lid tightly sealed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, use within 12 months for best performance and consistency.
