1
Carefully remove the new gasket from its packaging. Inspect
the gasket to be sure it is not deformed. The two round lobes
are the sealing surfaces.
When handling gaskets, especially nickel gaskets, avoid any
deformation. Keep the gasket sealing surfaces flat, with no creases
or wrinkles. Deformation of the sealing surfaces can create leaks.
Avoid contaminating the sealing surfaces.
2
Carefully insert the round gasket lobes into the slot of the
click and run fitting, then align the lobes into the inner
pockets of the click and run fitting. (Note that the gasket is
double-sided.)
3
Locate the hole in the gasket, align it over the pin on the bus
fitting, and press the gasket body flat against the bus so the
pin fits through the alignment hole.
