Loctite for bolts

mengele

Is there a sp3cial loctite that you must use for treads? Mechanic told me put loctite on but the only stuff I have is loctite super glue stuff. Wondering now is It the same stuff or did he mean a different loctite product?

This is the stuff I have https://www.amazon.co.uk/Loctite-Precision-ceramics-plastic-leather/dp/B0001GRVPK

Yes thread lock red or blue is what's normally used. Any motor factors will sell it.

There is a different one for bolts. It’s normally red or blue depending on what your using it for. Most motor factors will have it

It looks like a pritt stick or lipstick holder. Nothing like super glue

It depends on the application and type of thread

Thread lock or bearing lock would do the job.

That's the red one. Very good stuff.

They to a savage product for pipefitting. Expensive but great, I used it on a few jobs in plastics factory where I was installing chiller units in clean rooms and we needed guarantee leak free.
I built and installed 23 units, 2 pumps, mixers, heaters and plate coolers in each and not one single drip, stays good until fitting is moved.

Locktite 577 it’s called.
