How to wrap a tow

To achieve the tightness of any connections for years to come, you need to thread the butt elements to wind the required number of tow. In order to get the desired result, the winding of tow must be done correctly. And so as to wind the tow into thread:

You will need

• Tow, plumbing wrench, silicone

Instruction

1. Peel off a small strip of tow fibers from the main beam. Unfold it throughout its length. Next, twist fiber into rope. Rope size will depend on the depth of the thread.
2. Take a plumbing wrench. Jaws grasp the threads that are going to wind the tow and light pressure on the key, apply a small notches on the thread. Thus, you will get a light roughness on the threads, thereby increasing the tenacity of her with a tow.
3. Attach the end of flax fiber in the region of the thread. Next, evenly wrap in the opposite direction of tightening the nut, so that the following coil of tightly pressed previous. The number of winding should be in moderation. Note the wound on the other hand, it is important that there are no gaps.
4. Once you have carried out the winding of tow, to protect her from the effects of water on top you need to apply the silicone. Next, evenly distribute it throughout the thread. While the silicone did not polymerizable, the connection can be twisted and check for leaks. For complete polymerization, you have 8-10 min.
