Granville Lock Thread & Seal is a 50ml anaerobic compound that does two jobs on metal threads: it stops nuts, bolts and fittings shaking loose and it seals threaded pipe joints on petrol, oil and hydraulic systems. It cures once the joint is assembled and the air is shut out, and resists heat, vibration and water.

Good to know

• Is it a lock or a pipe sealant? Both: on a bolt it stops vibration loosening, and on a threaded fitting in fuel, oil or hydraulic pipework it seals the thread against leaks and corrosion.
• Will I be able to undo it? Yes, it is made to come apart with normal hand tools, so it suits fittings you may need to remove at a later service.
• Does it work on compression or flared fittings? No, those seal on the olive or the flare, not the thread; use it on tapered or parallel threaded joints only, and never on plastic fittings.
• How do I get a good seal? Clean and degrease the male and female threads, apply round the thread leaving the first turn bare, tighten to the normal torque and let it cure before pressure testing.

Which one?

For retaining bearings and locking studs for good, Granville Bearing Fit & Studlock (3096) is high strength; for a dedicated pipe-thread sealant, Hylomar Low Strength Thread Sealant (F/HY5172/050M) is made for pipework.
