Proper fastener tightening technique is essential for sealing of valve caps with soft metallic<br />

wire gaskets used in some high pressure cylinders. It is important to draw up bolting to full<br />

torque in even and gradual steps. Do not allow the valve cap to be tightened with bias on<br />

one cap screw or to become cocked in the bore. Such bias or cocking can cause uneven<br />

crush of a wire gasket that could cause a leak, and could also cause cap screw failure. This<br />

step tightening procedure is also necessary for all valve caps.<br />

Install the valve assembly (and high clearance spacer, when applicable), with the preformed<br />

gasket and valve retainer, in the valve pocket. See “Valves - Reassembly” on Page 5-57<br />

Lubricate and install a new o-ring, or for high pressure applications place a new, proper, soft<br />

metallic wire gasket on the retainer or cap and install the valve cap. Be careful not to gouge<br />

the bore, distort or damage the metallic wire gasket. Always use a new metallic wire gasket;<br />

wire gaskets are not reusable.<br />
