Direction to Use

1. Clean Threads: Clean the male and female threads with a brush or cloth; lightly roughen very smooth metal surfaces if necessary. 2. Wind the Cord: Start at the end of the pipe and wind the cord directly into the thread grooves following the helix direction of the threads in a criss-cross pattern. 3. Follow Label Counts: Use the recommended number of turns specified on the LOCTITE® 55 package based on your pipe diameter. 4. Cut & Assemble: Cut the cord using the dispenser’s built-in blade, screw the components together with a wrench, and make any final alignment adjustments (up to 45 degrees)
