5.0 Preparation of Hardware
5.1 Nut Preparation
For new installations, the nuts should come sealed from the factory and will need no cleaning.
Previously installed nuts require cleaning: as follows: Wire brush using a petroleum based
solvent to remove any foreign material on the external surfaces and threads.
If previous installations employed a thread‐locking compound, which will be visible as a grayish‐
green residue, remove as much of this compound as possible.
Do not apply thread lubricants to the threads.
Finish the cleaning process by rinsing in a volatile solvent such as acetone and allow to dry.
