APPENDIX C

Use of thread locking compounds

When assembling flying hardware to loudspeaker enclosures it is advisable to use thread-locking
compounds to eyebolts and other bolts in order to avoid any possibility of loosening.

The recommended thread-locking compound is Loctite 222.

The threaded rigging points used in TXD series enclosures are manufactured from zinc-plated
mild steel. Therefore, and additionally if the external bolts used are zinc-plated, zinc-passivated,
stainless steel or anodised (as the majority are), then the corresponding activator, Loctite 7471,
should be used to achieve 100% performance.

Application: Spray Loctite 7471 into the thread holes and allow it to evaporate. Apply Loctite 222
thread locking compound to the bolts prior to fitting, allowing sufficient to fill all the engaged
threads. Assemble components and tighten as necessary.

The parts may be disassembled by hand if required.
