How to Apply SWAK - Video

Learn how to apply SWAK—an anaerobic thread sealant that provides reliable sealing on metal pipe threads—to a fitting. When properly used, SWAK provides leak-proof sealing on metal pipe threads in applications between -65° to 360°F (or -54° to 182°C). y. For this task, you will need an open-end wrench, a dry soft-bristled brush, a tube of SWAK, and some solvent (a vise is optional). This video covers the amount of sealant applied, the use of solvent to remove excess sealant, how/when to tighten, and curing times.
