General practice
No smoking in the presence of primer, activator or accelerator. These products are highly
flammable. Never mix primer or activator and adhesive directly as liquids. For additional safe
handling procedures refer to the product material safety data sheets (MSDS) and technical data
sheets (TDS) available from www.loctite.com.

All parts must be free from oil and or grease. Do not use paint thinners for cleaning. Use solvent or
degreaser such as methylated spirits, trichlorethylene or acetone.

Allow painted bores to fully cure before the application of Loctite.

Fixing and full cure times for all Loctite will increase at reduced temperatures.

To prevent the product from clogging in the nozzle, do not allow the tip to touch metal surfaces during
application.

In general, nuts that secure anodes use Loctite 243 and a spring washer. Anodes in internal water
passages use nyloc nuts, external anodes use plain nuts.
Primers, activators and accelerators
Use primers when the surfaces to be thread locked are not active enough to cause curing, or when
accelerated cure time is required.

Primers, activators or accelerators are not required on 'active surfaces', such as bronze, brass and mild
steel.

For 'inactive surfaces' (including stainless steel or aluminium) primers, activators or accelerators are
optional for thread locking and are required for retaining.

Do not apply primers, activators or accelerators to any painted surface.

Allow sufficient time for primers, activators or accelerators, where applied, to dry.
