| Step 1: Position
the two halves of the flange adapter onto the groove in the valve body end(s), making sure
that the tab on each flange adapter half is located between the two locking lugs on the
valve body (Fig 1A). |
Fig 1A |
| Step 2: Insert the
two plastic Positioning Sleeves (enclosed in the box with the flanges) (Fig. 1B). The
Positioning Sleeves will hold the flange halves together helping to facilitate joining to
the mating flange(s). |
Fig 1B |
| Step 3: Apply
silicon sealer/lubricant to the inner and outer diameters of the flange kit gasket, and
press the gasket onto the valve body end. Ensure that the open end of the gasket is facing
AWAY from the valve body (Fig 1C). |
Fig 1C |
| Step 4: When in
place, the gasket will be seated and flush with the valve body ends. NOTE: Care should be
taken to ensure that the gasket is not pinched or bent between the flanges (Fig. 1D). |
Fig 1D |
| Step 5: Position
the assembly on the mating flange and install all flange bolts, being sure to remove
Positioning Sleeves (Fig. 1E) Tighten all bolts evenly as for a standard flange assembly.
The gasket face of the ArmgripTM flange should squarely contact the face of the
mating flange. When used with a "raised face" flange, there will be a gap
between the faces on the outer flange diameters. |

| Note: ArmgripTM
flange adapter gaskets are NOT interchangeable with other flange adapters. |
