4.5.6.4  Install the O-rings (I.D. and O.D.) on top of the seal- 

ant, working them into position so that they lay flat in 
the bottom of the groove. See Figure 13. A second 
bead of sealant 0.060" - 0.090" (1,5 mm - 2,3 mm) in 
size should then be applied in the shallow groove.  
See Figure 14.

4.5.7 

Inspect the new wear plates (3) and remove any 
scratches or raised edges with very fine sandpaper or 
steel wool. Position the smoothest side of the wear 
plate on the sealing surface, being careful to align the 
holes with those in the IRON.

4.5.8 

Position the support rings (50) & (51) over the holes 
in the wear plates (3) and install the new hex head 
screws (4) and locknuts (5) provided, securing them 
finger tight.

 

Caution

 

To prevent excessive warping of the wear plate and 
to endure a good seal, the following torque tightening 
procedure must be followed.

4.5.9 

For each wear plate being replaced, the torque 
tightening instructions are as follows: 

Note: The torque of the screws & nuts (4) (5) that attach the wear 
plate (3) to the mounting flange (1), reaction plate (30) & pressure 
plate (13) is a four step process.

(a) 

For the first 16 screws, bring the initial torque of  
each screw up to 33% of the torque value shown in  
Table 2 using the tightening sequence shown in 
Figure 15. Install and torque the remaining screws 
in any reasonable crosswise pattern to 33% of the 
torque value shown in Table 2.

(b) 

Repeat the sequence of torque tightening on the 
first 16 screws as shown in Figure 15 and bring each 
screw up to 66% of the torque value shown in  
Table 2. Torque the remaining screws in any 
reasonable crosswise pattern to 66% of the torque 
value shown in Table 2.

(c) 

Repeat the sequence of torque tightening on the 
first 16 screws as shown in Figure 15 and bring each 
screw up to 100% of the torque value shown in  
Table 2. Torque the remaining screws in any 
reasonable crosswise pattern to 100% of the torque 
value shown in Table 2

(d) 

Finish torque tightening by selecting a starting 
position (usually at the 12 o’clock position) and check 
the 100% torque of each screw going in a sequential 
clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. Mark or 
highlight screw head or nut & shank after final torque 
check as a visual indication that the screw/nut has 
been tightened to specification shown in Table 2.

 Caution

 

Allow the Loctite Superflex

®

 #596 Sealant 24 hours 

to completely cure before performing the following 
leak test procedure
