2 Install the copper gasket between the two flanges. (See Figure 1-4.) Always
use a new gasket. Do not attempt to use gaskets more than once.
Figure 1-4 Gasket and flange assembly
3 Bring the two flanges together making sure that the gasket fits in the recess in
both flanges. Flange faces should be parallel. If the gasket is properly seated, it
should not be possible to slide the two flanges laterally with respect to each other.
4 Install supplied silver-coated stainless steel bolts in the bolt holes of the flanges
and finger-tighten.
NOTE: If the factory-supplied silver-coated stainless steel hardware is not
used and the flanges are going to be baked, coat the bolt threads with
an anti-seize compound (FelPro
®
C 100 or equivalent).
CAUTION
Do not get any of the anti-seize compound on the gaskets
or vacuum parts of the flange.
5 After the bolts have been finger-tightened and the flange faces are parallel,
tighten the bolts gradually and evenly in a star pattern until the flange faces are
brought into even contact with each other.
