Pump kit red loctite

[dmgpb]

Fairly new to pumps and the few kits I have used red loctite for the thinner guide rod. Is this normal? Want to make sure I put it back correctly after getting them ano'ed

Thanks

NO RED LOCTIGHT ON ANYTHING PAINTBALLL......
small dabs of blue, ok

The secondary guide rod on pump plates usually have red loctite

Thanks when putting the secondary guide rod back i'm assuming I don't need to use red loctite?

Red loctite is overkill. There isn't anything in paintball that a player does, to their marker, that requires anything more the "Blue" loctite. Red Loctite is considered permanent

[SignOfZeta]

I will also mention that Red is overkill. You can *really* glue stuff in with Blue if you use enough of it, Red isn’t called for when it comes to paintball. If a PB manufacturer sends you something with Red it’s because they don’t care if you ever take it apart which is fine for them and people who will never care to service it.

Even on a car there are very few parts with Red on them. Flywheel bolts and…usually that’s it.

Please consider the next guy who’s going to own that gun.

Purple vibratite is just enough and helps prevent future problems. Red is the devil

I know CCM uses red on the lower secondary guide rod of their pump plates, same with their pump arms. Or at least used to.

Yes and anyone who has ever had to take it apart for Ano hates them for it. Also Pure Energy use to use it on ther tank regs so when you went to fly with them it ripped the tank threads out of the CF tanks making them an expensive paperweight.

Just say no to the Devils Sauce. Light to medium hold is all you will ever need for any paintball applications.

Also, “blue” aka non permanent thread locker can also be a red liquid.

use some loctite on those parts it works great.
