2.5 Position the ISC with the gland tight against the seal chamber face.

If equipment conditions allow, position gland with the outlet port or

plugged flush port as close to the 12:00 o'clock position as possible.

See Sections 3 and 4 for further piping considerations. Otherwise turn

the gland so that the vent tap is as close to the 12:00 o’clock position

as possible and so that the flush piping will clear the bearing frame.

Caution:

Setting devices should not be removed or loosened before tighten-

ing the gland bolts and tightening the set screws to the shaft.

Tighten the gland nuts evenly in a diagonal sequence. Do not over

tighten the gland nuts, as this can warp seal parts and cause leakage.

Confirm adequate thread engagement before final torque setting.
