Installation Instructions for Fabric Gaskets

1. General information

  • The fabric gasket must only be installed by trained specialists.
  • The fabric gasket may only be used under the specified operating conditions.
  • Fabric gaskets must be handled with particular care. Kinks or sharp bends in the fabric must be avoided at all costs.

2. Preparing the sealing surface and installation

  • The sealing surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned: they must be dry, free of dust and oil, and free of residues from old seals.
  • Position the seal precisely in the intended groove without stretching or twisting it.
  • During installation, ensure that the visible end of the gasket is placed on the flat sealing surface or in the bottom of the groove.

Note: Fabric seals are not reusable. For safe operation, they must be replaced after each disassembly.
