The Illustrated Guide to Hot and Cold Water Services (BG 33/2014), written by Reginald Brown and published by BSRIA in 2014, defines jointing compound as: ‘A purpose designed paste complying with BS 6956-5, used with fibre to promote a water seal in threaded joints. Jointing compounds that are suitable for use in potable water systems are listed in the WRAS approval scheme.’
