A key to the reliability of the seal is the cleanliness of the joint at the time of assembly.  Larger sized buckets of lubricant are more likely to become contaminated at the jobsite and less likely to be discarded when they are.  TYTON JOINT® lubricant is available in pints, quarts, and gallons.  The smaller containers are less likely to be contaminated with dirt, pebbles, or other foreign matter, which, if trapped between the pipe and gasket, could result in a joint leak.
