GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as
a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

Directions for use:

1. 1. Clean parts with a wire brush prior to application of
   product.
2. 2. Hold the end of the Pipe Sealing Cord against the male
   nipple with one finger approximately two threads away
   from the end.
3. 3. Wind the fiber onto the pipe threads in the same direction
   of the thread helix starting from the end of the pipe. For
   optimum performance, the grooves of the threads should
   be filled without completely masking the pitches of the
   thread.
   NOTE: It is not necessary to follow the valley of the
   thread.
4. 4. CAUTION: Do not over-apply the Pipe Sealing Cord.
   Excessive material tends to be pushed off as fittings are
   assembled, and it also becomes mechanically more
   difficult to complete the engagement.
5. 5. Cut the required length off with the integrated cutting tool
   and smooth the loose end onto the pitches of the pipe
   thread.
6. 6. LOCTITE® 55 Pipe Cord™ can be adjusted up to 45°
   after tightening.
