Loctite 567
Can you guys see any problems using a modecum of this stuff on flares?
It says it's halogenated hydrocarbon safe, along with other stuff, so just interested more than anything
Cheers

Re: Loctite 567
I'd be concerned some of it could get into the compressor or expansion device or such and cause trouble.
I just use some compressor oil i keep in a small squeezy oiler for the flare face, i put a little oil on the threads too. sometimes a little grease behind the flare to lube the nut so it don't want to twist the pipe.
Have a look to see if Nylog is available locally to you, it will be more what you are looking for as its a cross between a lube and a sealant and based on compressor oil.Mostly found in Oxfordshire, UK :)

Loctite 577, but a good flare is even better.

Hi Sparkletron
I agree with Magoo and sedgy nothing better then a well made flare therefore no sealer required. You need to be careful what Loctite you use as some will be dissolved by oil and if you are relying on it for a seal it will eventually leak.

Re: Loctite 567
I ended up getting a flare to hold 3000KPA for over 24 hours with no leak, even though the brass service valve it was seating on had some damage.
I have a bees knees flare tool and I usually just use a tiny bit of oil on the flare and have no dramas. This one just concerned me as it was a second had unit that was being reinstalled.
I trie to get loctite 554, and nylog but at that time I coulnd't source it.
Thanks for all the replies, there is a lo

Re: Loctite 567
Nylog is perfect solution for small scratches at flared surface. If scratch is deep, then there is no solution other than re-flaring.

Re: Loctite 567
If the scratch is in the brass, you can polish it out with maroon scotchbrite used in a circular motion so any additional scratches don't make a leak path from inside to outside.

Re: Loctite 567
You should be able to get Nylog from SRW and other smaller wholesalers.
