6a.
Install a flat washer (supplied with the coupling) onto the end of
each bolt, and thread a nut finger-tight onto each bolt.
NOTE:
make
sure the oval necks of the bolts seat properly in the bolt holes.
7.
Tighten the nuts evenly by alternating sides (refer to the graphics in
the left column of this page for the tightening sequence). make sure
the housings’ keys engage the grooves completely. Continue to tighten
the nuts evenly until metal-to-metal bolt pad contact
AND
the specified
torque value are achieved. Refer to the “Required Assembly Torques”
table on the following page.
NOTE: Both conditions of metal-to-metal
bolt pad contact AND the specified torque value are required for
proper coupling assembly.
NOTE:
It is important to tighten the nuts evenly to prevent gasket
pinching. deep well sockets are recommended for proper installation
due to the longer bolt lengths associated with these products. deep
well sockets provide the full nut engagement that is necessary during
tightening.
TO PREVENT LUBRICATION FROM DRYING OUT AND CAUSING
GASKET PINCHING, ALWAYS BRING THE BOLT PADS INTO METAL-
TO-METAL CONTACT IMMEDIATELY AFTER ASSEMBLING THE
COUPLING ONTO THE PIPE.
