Recently hired a plumber to run some new lines for the kitchen sink and fridge water line. I noticed he used Oatey #5 flux paste which appears to be petroleum based.
My question is, is it safe to drink the water on these lines? I was under the impression that he should have used water soluble flux. He said to just run a few gallons of water through the faucet, but with a newborn in the house, I want to make sure the water quality is safe. Thank you in advance and God bless!
