cp on off just arrived in the post today, when i put the 90 degree elbow into the side of it, do i have to loctite it in ?

 

[KitsuneAndy]

I have on mine..

just my mate fitted one without it? is it essential and what type should i use?

 

[KitsuneAndy]

If you can fit it tight enough without using it then that's fine

Use the blue stuff, it's in a red tube, it's the one that says it can be undone with normal hand tools.

ta mate, did u notice this thread spells out onion twice, HEH :/

 

[Dskize]

yes I did which is quite funny as Ion's make me cry aswell

anyhoo- loctite the elbow in for definate bud it helps seal the thread as well as stopping the elbow from coming undone and springing a leak.

Loctite or several turns of PTFE - up to you, either works. Loctite can be neater, PTFE easily reversible...

Unless your cutting one up..

I always find a mash hammer is the sharpest tool in this situation

It actually says "I onion, I onion" which is a book by Isac Asimov's lesser known, brother, Dirk Twotimes.
Hasnt had the cult success of I Robot, mainly due to Dirk's tendency to not only say everything twice, but type it too.
