What are ring seal joints?
Joints in the ring seal system are push fit. The joint is made pushing the end of a lubricated, chamfered pipe squarely into the fitting, which compresses the rubber seal to make an airtight and watertight joint. Ring seal joints can be easily dismantled if required.
How pipe joints are sealed?
Pipe joint compound, also known as pipe dope, is a type of sealant used with any threaded pipe to help create a seal. Consisting of a mixture of substances, including kaolin, clay, vegetable oil, rosin and ethanol, pipe-joint compound serves as both a lubricant and a sealant for threaded joints.

What kind of seals are used in underground pipes?
The Internal Joint Seals are watertight compression seals that reduce groundwater infiltration, increasing waste-water treatment capacity in underground pipes. Made of 7.5″ high quality rubber, Internal Joint Seals meet or exceed the physical requirements of ASTM C-923.
Can a push fit fitting be sealed with glue?
Push-fit fittings have an o-ring to provide a seal. You don’t need sealant / glue (aside from solvent cement) with any common waste system. These joints are firstly into a boss on a soil pipe and then an elbow joint. Neither of these have any ‘O’ rings or anything else to fully seal the joints.
What’s the best way to seal a pipe joint?
