5 Sealing and Securing Material
Base for all threaded joints and connections is that the
pre--load force or tightening moment sufficiently pro-
tects the connection against loosening.
The use of tightening and securing material such as
Loctite, DELO, etc. is to be considered as an addition,
specifically there where increased security is de-
manded.
The bonding materials prevent loosening of the con-
nection to a large extend, simultaneously providing an
additional sealing.
The use is specifically appropriate for those systems
where couplings are no longer accessible after mount-
ing.
Do only use bonding material classified as medium
strong securing materials.
Connections, which are secured with such material,
can be detached again with normal tools.
General instructions for use
D Threads must be clean and free from oil and
grease.
D Shake the container well and apply the securing
material to the first engaging turns (the very first
turn remains free!).
D In case of thread sizes up to
1

2
” do only apply to
outside threads;

” onto both joining pieces
D Mount the joints and tighten according to prescrip-
tion.
D After about 24h the hardening process is com-
pleted and the joint is fully resistant.
