Purpose-Built Pipe Lubricant

Hercules Duck Butter 40501 is a tan, amber-coloured lubricant formulated for drain, waste and vent piping as well as drinking-water systems. It suits professional plumbers and maintenance crews who need a single product approved for potable-water contact and standard DWV installations.

NSF/ANSI 61 Certification

The lubricant carries NSF/ANSI 61 certification, confirming it meets health-effects requirements for components that contact drinking water. This approval removes the need for a separate potable-water lubricant and simplifies compliance on mixed-use job sites.

10 °F to 120 °F Service Range

The product remains effective between 10 degrees F and 120 degrees F, so it cannot be used in systems that operate outside this temperature window. Installations subject to deeper cold or higher heat will require a different lubricant.

Questions about this item

Does the Duck Butter lubricant in the 2 lb jar dry out or need reapplication after the joint is assembled?

The lubricant is designed for drain, waste and vent pipe assembly and has no full cure time, so it remains workable and does not require reapplication once the joint is made.

What is the highest continuous temperature the lubricant can withstand before it breaks down?

The maximum operating temperature is 120 Degrees F; above that the product may lose its lubricating properties.

How hot does the jar get if it sits in a 120 °F mechanical room all day?

The lubricant itself is rated to 120 Degrees F, so the jar will reach ambient temperature without degrading the product inside.
