4.3.4.2 Thread adhesive
We recommend the two Henkel products LOCTITE
®
7471 (activator) and LOCTITE
®
577 (seal and
securing) in combination. The activator LOCTITE
®
7471 increases curing speed and is used before
the actual thread adhesive LOCTITE
®
577 is applied to 3 or 4 turns of the external thread on the
MSENSE® DGA 9 connecting unit.
4.3.4.3 Flat gasket
When a threaded joint is used, there is no need to seal and secure the connection using thread sealing
tape or thread adhesive. In this case, the flat gasket seals and the union nut secures the connection.
