9 Seat Gasket Installation

9.1 Wipe the gland seat gasket

groove clean with alcohol.

Caution: Consult material safety

data sheets for proper

handling of alcohol.

9.2 Note the proper orientation of

the chamfer and install the seat

gasket into the groove. Hold the

seat gasket in the groove and

adjust it so the end extends 0.65

to 0.90 mm (0.025 to 0.035 inch)

past the gland joint surface. See

Figure 22.

9.3 Check the gasket extension

with the height gauge.

See Figure 23.

9.4 Pull back 12.7 mm (0.50 inch)

of the seat gasket. Use a paper

clip to put two dots of adhesive

in the groove approximately

6.35 mm (0.25 inch) and 12.7

mm (0.50 inch) from the gland

joint surface. See Figure 24.
