How to Use Loctite 262

Loctite brand adhesives are used for a variety of purposes including an entire line of thread lockers. Thread lockers like Loctite 262 are designed to work by locking the threads of nuts and bolts together permanently. In some conditions that cause extreme stress, heavy-duty products like 262 are necessary. This product is appropriate for use in mechanical settings by the do-it-yourself mechanic who needs an extremely good bond or industry professionals working in environments where machinery is exposed to extreme conditions.

Instructions

1

Clean all surfaces being put together with Loctite cleaning solvent and allow to dry completely.

2

Shake the Loctite 262 thoroughly before use.

3

Apply several drops of Loctite 262 onto the bolt at the nut engagement area for holes that pass all the way through. Do not contact the tip of the applicator to the metal to avoid clogging.

4

Drip the product down the internal threads of a hole for blind applications. This is where a hole does not completely pass through a work piece.

5

Run a 360 degree line of product around the male threads of a fitting leaving the first thread clean for sealing applications. This is where the Loctite 262 needs to fill all the voids in the threads. In this application force the product into the threads to fill the voids thoroughly. For larger applications the product can be applied to the female fitting as well. Force the male fitting into the threads.

6

Assemble and tighten fittings as required after the Loctite 262 is applied.
