Product Information

Full details

The 567 Pipe Sealant is a high-performance anaerobic thread sealant designed for professionals and DIYers working with metal threaded pipe joints. Its key benefit is creating a durable, pressure-resistant seal that effectively prevents leaks, even under challenging conditions like vibration and thermal expansion. A potential caveat is its reliance on anaerobic curing, meaning it needs to be fully confined between metal surfaces to harden.

FAQs

What is anaerobic thread sealant?

Anaerobic thread sealant is a liquid or semi-liquid adhesive that cures (hardens) when it is deprived of oxygen, such as when applied to metal threads and assembled into a joint.

Can I use 567 Pipe Sealant on plastic pipes?

No, 567 Pipe Sealant is specifically designed for metal threaded pipe joints and is not suitable for plastic or other non-metal materials.

How long does it take to cure?

Handling strength is typically achieved within 1-3 hours, and full cure (for pressure testing) is usually complete within 24-48 hours, depending on temperature, joint fit, and substrate.

What is the temperature range for application and service?

The product is typically designed for application and service temperatures ranging from -50°C to +150°C (-58°F to +302°F), though specific application conditions may vary.

Is this sealant removable?

It creates a permanent seal. Disassembly requires significant force, often aided by localized heat to soften the cured sealant.

How much sealant should I apply?

Apply enough sealant to cover all engaged threads and the valleys between them. Wipe off excess material that is not confined to the joint.

What is the shelf life of 567 Pipe Sealant?

When stored properly in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry environment, the shelf life is typically 12-24 months.

Troubleshooting

Sealant not curing or curing slowly

Ensure the sealant is fully confined between metal threads and has adequate contact. Check for contamination (oil, dirt) on threads. Verify ambient temperature is within the recommended range (typically above 15°C/60°F).

Leaking after application

The joint may not have been fully tightened or the sealant was not applied correctly/uniformly. Inspect threads for damage. Disassemble, clean, reapply sealant, and reassemble.

Difficulty disassembling a joint

This is expected for permanent thread lockers. Disassembly typically requires localized heat (e.g., a heat gun) to break down the cured sealant, followed by a pipe wrench.

Sealant has a stringy consistency

This can indicate the product is nearing its expiration date or has been exposed to air. Always ensure the cap is sealed tightly after use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates a permanent, leak-proof seal on metal threads.
  • Resists loosening from vibration and thermal cycling.
  • Suitable for a wide range of industrial and domestic pipework.
  • Easy to apply from its tube packaging.
  • Offers comparable performance to established brands like Loctite 567.

Cons

  • Requires full metal-to-metal contact to cure properly.
  • Not suitable for plastic or non-metal threads.
  • Curing time can vary based on temperature and joint fit.
  • Disassembly may require heat or significant force due to its permanent nature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure all threads are clean, dry, and free from oil or grease.
  2. Apply the sealant evenly to the male threads, ensuring coverage down to the last thread.
  3. Assemble the joint promptly. For optimal curing, ensure the sealant is fully confined between the mating metal parts.
  4. Wipe away any excess sealant from the exterior of the joint.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for metal threaded pipe joints (e.g., steel, brass, copper).
  • Not recommended for use on plastics or non-metal fittings.
  • Suitable for use with water, gas, air, and various industrial fluids.

Care:

  • Store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the cap tightly sealed when not in use to prevent premature curing.
  • Clean application tools immediately after use.
