Sanitary Hardware Lubrication Application Guide
Start with the operating position, then select a grease direction based on materials, temperature, water exposure and movement.
| Main Application Position | Recommended Grease | Recommended Model | Core Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Faucet ceramic-cartridge sealing surfaces | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | WSG S2-023 | Reduces cartridge opening and turning force and limits seal-surface wear, sticking and noise. |
| Faucet valve stems and rotating shafts | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | WSG S2-035 | Reduces stem friction and scale-related sticking for smooth handle movement. |
| Faucet cartridge O-rings | Drinking Water System Silicone Grease | WSG S2-023 | Reduces seal friction and assembly damage while helping prevent rubber cracking and leaks. |
| Faucet aerator seals | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | WSG S2-021 | Protects seals and reduces removal and installation friction to prevent sticking, aging and leakage. |
| Pull-out faucet swivel joints | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | WSG S1-001 | Reduces swivel friction, protects internal seals and helps prevent leakage. |
| Pull-out faucet hose sliding positions | Low-friction waterproof lubricant | Reduces hose-pulling resistance and surface wear for smoother extension and retraction. | |
| Shower faucet diverter and distribution valves | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | WSG S2-035 | Reduces stem and seal friction to help prevent diverter sticking and leakage. |
| Thermostatic faucet cartridges and adjustment shafts | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | SG-L7100 | Maintains lubrication and sealing through hot-and-cold cycling while reducing adjustment force. |
| Showerhead spray-mode switching mechanisms | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | SG-L7100 | Reduces friction at knobs, discs and seals for smooth spray-mode changes. |
| Showerhead ball joints and swivel connections | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | SG-L7100 | Reduces ball-joint turning resistance and helps prevent scale, wear and rotation noise. |
| Angle-valve stems and seals | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | WSG S2-035 | Reduces opening and closing force, protects seals and helps prevent seizure after long inactivity. |
| Water-filter faucet cartridges and seals | Drinking Water System Silicone Grease | WSG S2-023 | Lubricates water-contact cartridge and seal positions to reduce wear and leakage. |
| Toilet inlet-valve pistons and seals | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | WSG S2-035 | Reduces piston and seal resistance to help prevent sticking, dryness and leakage. |
| Toilet flush-valve seals | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | WSG S2-035 | Protects rubber seals and reduces sticking, hardening and seal failure. |
| Smart-toilet spray rods and sliding seals | General-Purpose Waterproof Silicone Grease | SG-L7100 | Reduces spray-rod extension resistance, protects seals and helps prevent moisture entry into mechanisms. |
| Bathroom cabinet hinges and drawer slides | Water-resistant hardware grease | WSG S2-023 | Resists bathroom humidity and reduces hinge and slide wear, corrosion and noise. |
| Shower enclosure hinges, pivots and roller bearings | Water-resistant rust-preventive grease | LI-GREASE A1/1 | Reduces door-opening resistance and roller noise while preventing corrosion in humid conditions. |
| Bathroom sliding-door rollers and rails | Low-friction water-resistant lubricant | WSG S2-023 | Reduces roller-and-rail friction, sticking, wear and operating noise. |
| Push-button drain springs and moving shafts | Water-resistant precision grease | Reduces push mechanism friction and corrosion to prevent pop-up mechanism sticking. | |
| Floor-drain flaps, springs and mechanical seal mechanisms | Water-resistant corrosion-protective grease | Resists wastewater and humidity while reducing flap and spring corrosion, sticking and noise. | |
| Sanitary metal fittings and installation threads | Metal Anti-Seize Paste | Paste Zs33 | Helps prevent metal thread corrosion, galling and difficult disassembly. |
Application support, explained.
Prepare the right information for product selection and evaluation.
What information helps you recommend a grease?
Share the component, contact materials, temperature range, speed, load and working environment. A photo, drawing or current lubricant reference helps us review a suitable starting product.
Can I request technical documents and samples?
Contact our team with the product or application reference. We can review the relevant product-specific TDS or SDS and discuss samples for testing on your actual components.
Can the lubricant be supplied in small packaging?
Explore our tubes, syringes, sachets and other packaging formats. Tell us your target fill size, application method, labeling needs and expected quantity so we can review the supply format.
Build your lubrication solution with OYES.
Share your application, operating conditions and packaging needs. Our team will help you choose a starting product and arrange the technical information or samples for evaluation.
