Seal Ring Installation Note

CAUTION:

If installation is performed without using the SST, the seal ring will be damaged and deformed, resulting in an incorrect installation. Always use the SST to install the seal ring.

Temporarily install the seal ring to the pipe so that the seal ring is even with the flange.
