1.2 THREADED JOINTS
Threaded joints have been secured at the factory using Loctite brand thread locking adhesive #263 (red) or #242 (blue).
• Disassembly of joints where #263 Loctite is used requires a minimal application of heat with a oxyacetylene torch to break the bond.
• The threads should be heated to approximately 450°F. Excessive heat application will cause damage to adjacent seals and labels.
• Replacement parts must be reinstalled using either Loctite #271 or #242 where specified, or equivalent. Small vials of Loctite for
field service are available. Order part # V5010 (#271 LOCTITE MINI DISPENSER) or VSA-125 (LOCTITE BLUE #24205 MINI
DISPENSER).
• Threads must be clean, dry, and free of grease or oil when applying Loctite.
• Allow Loctite to set up for at least one hour before using or subjecting to water.
1.3 LUBRICANTS
If parts are disassembled in an area where O-rings are present, re-assemble using Molykote #112 High Performance Silicone Grease on
all O-rings and surfaces that the O-rings contact. If nozzle is not disassembled refer to the field lubrication procedure in the nozzle
manual.
CAUTION
1.4 LABEL REPLACEMENT
If labels become damaged, remove old labels with razor knife. Remove adhesive with acetone or methyl ethyl ketone. Surface must be
clean, dry, and free from grease. Remove protective backing and carefully apply new label.

Aerosol lubricants contain solvents that can swell O-Rings if applied in excess. The swelling can
inhibit smooth operation of the moving parts. When used in moderation, as directed, the solvents
quickly evaporate without adversely swelling the O-Rings.
