About Thread Sealants
Your QuickJack comes with a bottle of Liquid Thread Sealant. Thread Sealant lubricates and fills the
gaps between the Fitting threads, and leaves no residue that could contaminate the Hydraulic Fluid.
When Hydraulic Fittings are assembled and tightened properly, there should be no Hydraulic Fluid
leaks during equipment operation and no internal fluid contamination to disrupt the performance of
your QuickJack.
The same goes for Thread Seal Tape (like Teflon® Tape) or Liquid TPFE (Thread Sealer). Both are
approved Thread Sealants for QuickJack, and if used correctly, there should be no evidence of
Hydraulic Fluid leaks during equipment operation or Hydraulic Fluid contamination that could cause
equipment malfunction.
To apply Liquid Thread Sealant:
1. Make sure the Fittings and connectors you are going to use are clean and dry.
If you are adding Thread Sealant to a Fitting or connector that has already been used with a
different sealant, use a wire brush to thoroughly remove the old sealant before adding more.
2. Apply a small amount of Thread Sealant to the first four threads (skipping the first thread) of the
Fitting.
⚠ WARNING Make sure to wear the proper protective equipment when handling Thread Sealant.
You only need a small amount because the sealant spreads to the other threads as it is tightened
into place. If you put too much, the excess liquid will be pushed out when the Fitting is tightened;
use a rag to wipe the excess.
3. Tighten the Fitting into the connector by making 2-3 full turns.
4. Allow minimum 24 hours of curing time before pressurizing the system.
