Causes Cures
Flanges not tight.
Tighten bolts evenly to
proper torque.
Flanges tightened unevenly
causing extrusion of O-ring.
Replace O-rings. Tighten
bolts evenly to proper
torque.
O-ring cut. Replace.
O-ring wrong size. Replace with proper size.
Sealing surfaces not
smooth; scratched or
gouged.
Repair if possible or
replace parts.
Sealing surfaces dirty. Clean.
Flanges keep getting loose
