NC-v4 EQc2: Low emitting materials
Has anyone found a pipe thread sealant manufacturer that has acquired a GEE for their product?
I've gone through six so far and not found a single one who is even interested in pursuing it.

Are throw rugs subject to the credit requirements?
What are the adhesives and sealants to be included in the documentation?
Is there a VOC budget method for this credit?
What are the limits on the VOC budget method?
Do products applied to the weather barrier need to comply with VOC thresholds?
If one part of my multicomponent wall system is not compliant, can I still get full credit?

Hi Spott or anyone who sees this,
Have you been able to find a GEE compliant thread sealant? I have looked at several materials but cannot find any, and our consultant is refusing any material not GEE compliant because they are trying to achieve 100% compliance.

It appears from the info on this link that Oatey has GEE and VOC compliant thread sealant:

Our M/P Sub used all Oatey products on our LEED NCv2009 project recently. Contact Oatey to obtain GEE and VOC info on their thread sealants and if you can, please keep us posted on your results.
Thanks! Debra

Oatey did finally in August release a number of products (16 I think) that are compliant. Here's a quick post about it - https://getgreenbadger.com/2019/11/04/pvc-cpvc-cement/
If you are using Green Badger, they are in that database. If not, you'll have to go to UL Spot and get the certificate you need.
