NOTE Bolts used must be grade-5 or better. A grade-5
bolt has three dashes in the head.
2. Snug the bolts in a diagonal manner (Figure 2-22
) to 1/3
of the torque given in Table 2-7

Causes Cures
Flanges not tight
Tighten the bolts evenly to
proper torque
Flanges tightened unevenly
causing extrusion of the O-
ring
Replace the O-rings.
Tighten bolts evenly to

O-ring cut Replace
O-ring the wrong size
Replace with the proper
size
Sealing surfaces not
smooth; scratched or
gouged
Repair if possible or
replace parts
