What Is Fernox Water Hawk Jointing Compound?
Fernox Water Hawk Jointing Compound is a traditional jointing paste formulated to seal threaded pipe connections. It fills surface imperfections within threads, preventing leaks once fittings are tightened. Consequently, joints remain secure even under varying temperature and pressure conditions.
Because the compound does not set hard, it allows for easy joint adjustment during installation. Therefore, installers maintain control without compromising seal integrity.
Key Features of Fernox Water Hawk
Fernox Water Hawk provides excellent sealing performance on threaded fittings. It remains flexible over time, which helps joints cope with system movement and vibration. At the same time, it resists washout and degradation.
The compound spreads easily across threads. As a result, installers achieve even coverage with minimal product use. In addition, its stable formulation supports consistent performance across different installation environments.
How Fernox Water Hawk Works
When applied to male threads, Fernox Water Hawk fills microscopic gaps between mating surfaces. Once the joint tightens, the compound forms a watertight barrier. Therefore, it prevents water seepage and pressure loss.
Because it remains non-hardening, the compound adapts to expansion and contraction within the system. As a result, joints maintain their seal over time.
Applications and Suitable Uses
Domestic Plumbing
Fernox Water Hawk suits hot and cold water plumbing systems. It works effectively on threaded connections found in taps, valves, and pipe fittings. Therefore, it supports leak-free domestic installations.
Heating and Mechanical Systems
The compound also performs well in central heating systems. It seals threaded joints on radiators, pumps, and valves. As a result, engineers rely on it for both installation and servicing tasks.
