FIPG Material Precautions

When working with FIPG material, you must observe the following.
- Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old packing (FIPG) material from the gasket surfaces.
- Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the loose material.
- Clean both sealing surfaces with a non-residue solvent.
- Apply the seal packing in approx. 1 mm (0.04 in.) bead along the sealing surface.
- Parts must be assembly within 10 minutes of application. Otherwise, the packing (FIPG) material must be removed and reapplied.
