must be

made using suitable flat gaskets, sealing rings or

WIKA profile sealings.

For sealing process connections with tapered

threads, the sealing must be made in the threads

using additional sealing material - e.g. PTFE tape

(EN 837-2).

For further information on seals see WIKA data sheet AC 09.08 or at www.wika.com.
