9 CERTIFICATION OF MODELS 550 AND 750
OS&Y FUGITIVE EMISSION GAGECOCKS
Penberthy fugitive emission gagecocks are
individually serialized and tested to meet EPA
emission test requirements. Each gagecock
is shipped with its individual test report that
certifies less than 5 ppm leak rates, using
Kalrez
®
and PTFE as the packing material.
Refer to product proposal information for
packing materials other than Kalrez
®
and PTFE.
6. Tighten stem packing follower screws.
Note: yoke and stem packing follower
screws should be tightened evenly to insure
even compression of the yoke gasket/O-ring
and stem packing.
7. For gagecocks equipped with a union
connection, place the tailpipe on the body
and tighten in place with the coupling nut.

packing gland and tubular packing on
each end of the gage connection.
b. With upper gagecock turned ⅛ turn

the gage connection into the upper
gagecock as far as it permits.

original position while holding the gage
with upward force to insure clearance
of the lower gagecock stuffing box
