Loctite LOC39413 Clover Lapping Compound 240 Grit 1 Lb

Product Description

The LOCTITE LOC39413 is a silicon carbide grease-mix lapping compound designed for precision surface finishing and valve seating work. Sold under the Clover brand name, this compound uses 240-grit silicon carbide abrasive suspended in a grease carrier to cut, lap, and seat metal-to-metal surfaces. The 240-grit grade delivers a medium-fine cut suited for final lapping passes where surface contact and sealing integrity matter. Each unit contains 1 pound of compound. Plumbers, pipefitters, machinists, and HVAC technicians use this product when reconditioning valve seats, lapping flanges, or fitting mating surfaces that require consistent abrasive action without loose powder mess.

Clover lapping compounds are a standard choice in mechanical and fluid-handling trades for valve maintenance, pump reconditioning, and precision fit work on metal components. The grease-based formula stays in place on vertical or angled surfaces during the lapping process, reducing compound migration and keeping the abrasive where it is needed. This product is appropriate for both shop bench work and field service tasks where valve seats or mating surfaces require reconditioning to restore proper shutoff or sealing performance.

Key Features

• 240-grit silicon carbide abrasive for medium-fine material removal and surface finishing
• Grease-mix carrier keeps compound in position on vertical and angled work surfaces
• 1 pound net weight per container
• Suitable for valve seat lapping, flange seating, and metal-to-metal fit work
• Clover series formulation recognized across plumbing, pipefitting, and machining trades

Compatibility

Designed for use on metal-to-metal lapping applications including valve seats, pump components, and mating flanges where a medium-fine abrasive cut is required. No specific equipment compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this listing.

Installation Notes

Lapping compounds are applied by qualified tradespeople including pipefitters, plumbers, and machinists working on valve and pump reconditioning. Always isolate and depressurize the system and shut off all fluid or gas supply before disassembling any valve or fitting for lapping work. Apply the compound sparingly to the lapping tool or seat surface and use consistent rotational pressure. Thoroughly clean all compound residue from surfaces before reassembly, as retained abrasive will accelerate wear on seating surfaces and seals.
