Flange shape selection
The flanges used for installation should maximize the area of contact with the gasket.
(The liquid could leak because of the
small area of contact with the gasket.)

CAUTION
Never attempt to force the detector between two flanges if the space is too narrow.
It can damage the detector.
Figure 2-23 Unacceptable Placement of Detector Between Flanges
CAUTION
Make certain the bore diameters of the pipe and the detector are exactly the same
and install the detector so that the gasket does not protrude into the inner bore of
the pipe, as this could result in leakage or other hazards.
CAUTION
Tighten each bolt a little at a time and apply uniform pressure to all the bolts.
If leakage continues after tightening the bolts, make sure that the pipe is not off
center, then continue to tighten each bolt a little at a time.
