Installation is Quick and Easy
Separate the flanges by a minimum of 6" for room to work, and clean the glass sealing surfaces completely to remove any dirt, corrosion, oil, or leftover gasket material. Cut one end of the gasketing using the skiving technique shown in Figure A. Remove the adhesive backing and position the tape flush with the flange ID, placing the skive at a marked location where a clamp will be placed. Fit the gasket tape around the entire flange circumference. Lay the tape across the skive, completing with a second cut as shown in Figure B, allowing 3" of overlap. Cut off the excess horizontally, leaving a total thickness of approximately 120 percent of the original. At least three progressive torque sequences in a star or 180-degree method should be used. Finally, perform a circular torque check at the equipment's maximum allowable OEM recommended torque to ensure a tight, long-lasting seal.
 
Installation Guidelines
- Tape width = Effective Sealing Surface +1/8"
- Thickness = 1/4" for flange irregularities up to 0.080"
- Thickness = 3/8" for extreme irregularities 0.080- 0.120"
- 1/8" shim packs used to fill in localized sections of additional 0.040" deviation
