Gasket
Cautions in connecting pipes

(1) Generally, use Teflon cushion type gasket to connect flanges. If the gasket made of asbestos used in
the carbon steel pipes for piping is used, a crevice corrosion will occur on the wrap joint surface
because chloride ion contained in the gasket liquates out. So, evade using asbestos gaskets.

(2) In general, plate uni-chrome on iron flanges and bolts.

 (3) When connecting, set a gasket in the center of the pipe axis and tighten the bolts evenly.

Pretreatment Remove the coating with a knife or a dedicated tool. Do not damage the copper pipe.
Removal length is 60mm (for 3/4 inch or less).

Applying flux Use liquid type flux.

If the soft solder is used, the flux should be applied a bit away from the end in belt-shape
around the pipe as shown in the figure. Do not apply it on the inner surface of the joint.

Do not apply flux in this area (3 to 5mm).

Pretreatment

Use liquid type flux. Use flux only in the case where copper pipes and other copper alloys
Applying flux such as valves are connected (it is unnecessary for connecting copper pipes and copper
joints).

After insertion, turn the pipe one or two times to make flux pervade evenly. Insert the pipe
