About Thread Sealants
Use Thread Sealant on NPT threads only.
Liquid Thread
Sealant lubricates and fills the gaps between the
NPT
threads and leaves no residue that could
contaminate the Hydraulic Fluid.
Other types of Thread Sealants (like Teflon Tape) can
shred during installation or removal and eventually enter
the Hydraulic System.
Liquid Thread Sealant is largely designed for use with NPT
connectors.
Apply the thread sealant when the ambient temperature is
between +46.5°F to +70°F (+8°C to 21°C)
To apply Thread Sealant:
Make sure the NPT Fittings and connectors you are going to use are clean and dry.
If you are adding Thread Sealant to a Fitting or connector that has already been used with a
different sealant, use a wire brush to thoroughly remove the old sealant before adding more.
Leave the first 1-2 threads dry, without sealant. Apply a small amount of Thread Sealant (Loctite
5452 or similar) to the next four to five threads of the Fitting.
⚠ WARNING Always wear the proper protective equipment when handling Thread Sealant.
You only need a small amount because the sealant spreads to the other threads as it is tightened
into place.
If you use too much, the excess liquid will be pushed out as the Fitting is tightened; use a rag to
remove the excess.
Hand tighten the Fitting into its connector, then turn with the appropriate wrench two to three turns
more; do not over tighten the Fitting!
Allow the 24-hour manufacturer-recommended curing time before pressurizing the system.
