Completely clean the sealing area and remove any dirt, corrosion, oil or leftover from old gasket material.

Cut one ending of the Expanded PTFE Joint Sealant tape and remove just a little of the protecting paper. Place the tape at the nearest possible position next to the bolts, starting next to a bolt hole. Fit the gasket around the entire flange circumference and across the endings as shown in figure 1.

At least 4 progressive torque sequences with a torque wrench, in a star of 180° (fig. 1), should follow the first torque by hand.

Finally, perform a circumferential torque check and ensure that the expanded PTFE sealing tape is firmly and durable.
