Applicationofglandlubricant
To ensure proper installation, SpectraSensors recommends using STL8 screw
thread lubricant or equivalent on all screw thread and its tapped opening.
STL8 Screw Thread Lubricant is a lithium based, anti-galling substance with
excellent adhesion that maintains rain-tightness and grounding continuity
between gland fittings. This lubricant has proven very effective between parts
made of dissimilar metals, and is stable in temperatures from -6
C (-20 F) to
+149
C (+300 F).
1. Holding the fitting piece at one end, generously apply the lubricant
on the male threaded surface (at least five threads wide) as shown
in Figure 3–7 on page 3–15.
2. Screw the female pipe thread onto the male fitting until the
lubricated threads are engaged.
Do not use this lubricant on exposed current-carrying parts.
• Eyes: May cause minor irritation.
• Skin: May cause minor irritation.
• Ingestion: Relatively non-toxic. Ingestion may result in a
laxative effect. Ingestion of substantial quantities may cause
lithium toxicity.
