Split Flange Connection
1. Lubricate and install O-ring in shoulder groove (see
Figure 2-14
). Align shoulder with port and assemble
flanges over shoulder.
NOTE: Bolts used must be grade-5 or better. Grade-5 bolt
has three dashes in head.
2. Snug bolts in a diagonal manner (Figure 2-14
) to 1/3 of
torque given in Table 2-6
.
3. Repeat step 2 to 2/3 of final torque. Repeat step 2 to
final torque.

Causes Cures
Flanges not tight. Tighten bolts evenly to proper
torque.
Flanges tightened unevenly
causing extrusion of O-ring.
Replace O-rings. Tighten
bolts evenly to proper torque.
O-ring cut. Replace.
O-ring wrong size. Replace with proper size.
Sealing surfaces not smooth;
scratched or gouged.
Repair if possible or replace
parts.
Sealing surfaces dirty. Clean.
Flanges keep getting loose
in service.
Use SAE grade 5 bolts or
better. Retighten bolts after
system is hot.
