Visitors to the LOCTITE stands will witness live demonstrations of its thread sealing solutions which are now the installers choice for a reliable and fast seal, LOCTITE 55 and LOCTITE 577.

With its immediate full pressure sealing qualities, LOCTITE 55 is the fast, easy general purpose, threaded pipe and fitting sealant designed for sealing of metal and plastic pipes and fittings. The product also has approval for gas and potable water certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61, WRAS, DVGW and BAM approvals – meaning one product covers a multitude of applications.

For other plumbing applications, that even LOCTITE 55 can’t achieve, LOCTITE 577 has the answer. A liquid anaerobic pipe sealing product, LOCTITE 577 is a medium-strength thread sealant, meaning it is designed to be undone with hand tools should the need ever arise. It can be used on both parallel/parallel and parallel/taper threads and fittings and fills the space between threaded parts and locks the part at the same time. Ideal for threads with short engagement lengths, parts that need sealing and locking in a certain position e.g. an outside tap, plus can be used to seal olives and oil line fittings.

Gavin Jackson, Applications Engineering Manager at LOCTITE said: “Our specialist plumbing products are designed to assist installers to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and ultimately save time and costs. Visitors to our stands at both shows will gain insight into how our solutions are now the benchmark in pipe sealing and revolutionising the plumbing industry away from traditional methods. Suitable for domestic and commercial applications we will be on hand to discuss installers challenges and demonstrate the products.”
