Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

What sets Tru-Blu apart

  • PTFE-based formula provides lubrication for threads, helping you achieve smoother assembly and easier disassembly, even on stubborn fittings.
  • Blue color makes it simple to visually confirm coverage on threads during installation and future inspections.

  • RectorSeal Tru-Blu sub-brand combines reliable performance with straightforward, user-friendly application for threaded pipe joints.
  • Designed for threaded pipe connections across typical plumbing applications, helping seal joints and reduce the risk of leaks.

How to use

  • Prepare threaded connections by cleaning and drying the threads to remove debris and moisture.
  • Apply a uniform coat of the PTFE sealant to the male threads, ensuring complete coverage without excessive buildup.
  • Join the fittings and tighten to the recommended torque for the application, then run a pressure test to verify seals.
  • Inspect for leaks after installation and re-tighten if necessary according to standard plumbing practices.

Ideal for anyone tackling threaded piping projects, from homeowners performing routine repairs to professional plumbers managing commercial or residential installations. If you value a visible, easy-to-apply sealant that helps prevent leaks without complicating disassembly, RectorSeal Tru-Blu is a practical, trustworthy choice.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
