Flange Insulation Gasket Kit

Flange Insulation Kits are the most widely used form of controlling losses due to corrosion.  They can be used to control stray electric currents in piping at oil, gas, water, refinery, and chemical plants, to increase the effectiveness of cathodic protection systems and confine or eliminate electrolytic corrosion.

Gasket Type:
TYPE E - Type E gaskets are for full protection of both flange faces
TYPE F - Type F are to fit the raised face area flanges only.
TYPE D - Type D Are made to fit the grooves on ring joint type flanges.
SEAL TYPE - Gasket and O Ring are available in different materials to maintain constant contact with the flange face.

Specify The Following:
Gasket Type
Single or Double Washer
Polyethylene, Phenolic, Mylar, or Nomex Sleeve
Flange Size and Pressure Rating



Recommended Installation Procedure:

Verify that the installation kits contain the material specified and the contents are not damaged.
Clean and inspect pipe flange faces and apply lubricant to all threads.
Install the gasket and align the flanges and gasket so the bolts will be centered.
Use alignment pins in two diametrically opposite bolt holes whenever possible to assure  proper alignment of flanges and gasket.
Insert insulating sleeves into the bolt holes taking care not to use force which could damage the sleeve material.
Insert the bolt with both insulating washers against the flanges followed by the steel washer and nut.
Tighten two diametrically opposite bolts to 30% to total torque. Replace the two alignment pins with bolts and tighten the remaining bolts to 30% of the total torque value.
Tighten all bolts to 50% and the to 100% of final torque value.
Bolts should be of sufficient length to extend through the nut approximately 1/4".
