This 4 oz. bottle of Super Lube® Silicone Oil (100 cSt) is a pure polydimethylsiloxane silicone fluid made for lubricating o-rings, hose washers, and rubber or plastic seals throughout your drip irrigation system. A light coating helps seals glide into place without pinching or tearing, creates a tighter watertight seal at threaded connections, and slows the drying and cracking that eventually causes leaks at filters, backflow preventers, and hose-thread fittings. It's NSF H1 registered for incidental food contact and stable from -58°F to 392°F, so it won't break down in the heat of a garden shed or the cold of a winter freeze. Apply it any time you assemble a head, swap a washer, or pack your system away for winterizing.

Where should I apply this silicone lubricant on my drip system?
Apply a thin coat to o-rings and rubber hose washers found in filters, backflow preventers, and hose-thread connections before assembling or reassembling them.
A light film is all that's needed—over-applying won't improve the seal and just attracts more dust and debris.
Is this lubricant safe to use around food crops?
Yes. This silicone oil is NSF registered as a Food Grade lubricant, rated H1 for incidental food contact.
That makes it a safe choice for maintaining drip components used in vegetable gardens and edible landscapes.
How often should I lubricate my system's o-rings and washers?
A light application at the start of the season and again before winterizing is typically enough for most home drip systems.
If you notice a fitting drying out, sticking, or beginning to leak, it's a good sign that seal needs a fresh coat sooner.
Will this lubricant work in cold winter storage?
Yes. It remains stable from -58°F to 392°F, so it stays effective on stored components through winter and won't break down once you reinstall your system in spring.
Applying a coat to seals before winter storage can help prevent them from drying out and cracking in the cold.
Keep these on hand alongside your silicone lubricant for full system upkeep:
