Permatex Water Pump & Thermostat RTV Silicone Gasket Maker is a noncorrosive, sensor-safe RTV silicone gasket material formulated for water pumps and thermostat housings. Permatex Water Pump & Thermostat has the highest water-glycol resistance available in an RTV silicone.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Permatex Water Pump & Thermostat RTV Silicone Gasket is a single component, room temperature vulcanizing gasketing compound designed to provide reliable “formed-in-place” gaskets for mechanical assemblies. This material cures on exposure to moisture in the air to form a tough, flexible, silicone rubber gasket. The product resists aging, weathering and thermal cycling without hardening, shrinking or cracking. Provides the highest water-glycol resistance available in an RTV silicone.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

For assembly as a form-in-place gasket
1. Remove all previous material from mating surfaces. Permatex Gasket Remover is recommended for most materials, not for plastics or painted surfaces.
2. For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a residue-free solvent, such as Permatex Brake and Parts Cleaner.
3. Remove cap and puncture tube seal.
4. Apply a continuous and even bead of silicone (approximately 1/8” in diameter) to one surface, first tracing the internal areas of the gasket configuration, then all surrounding bolt holes
5. Assemble parts immediately while silicone is still wet
6. Secure or tighten to recommended torque specifications. Re-torque will not be necessary after the product has cured.

For assembly as a gasket dressing
1. Repeat steps 1 thru 4 as in previous section.
2. Apply a thin film of silicone to one surface to be sealed.
3. Place the pre-cut gasket onto silicone film.
4. Apply a second thin to pre-cut gasket surface.
5. Remove any excess and assemble parts immediately.

Note: Product not recommended for use as a cylinder head gasket or head gasket sealant.
