Disassembly:
-After pressure is relieved from the gage glass, remove from the boiler drum and lay
flat on a workbench
-Loosen end bolting first, working from the opposite ends toward the center of the
gage.
-Remove all components including washers, finger clamps, cover plates, gaskets,
glass, and Mica shields. Retain the bolting and cover plates. Discard all gaskets,
glass, and Mica. Note: Never re-use these components, even when they appear to
be in perfect condition!
Reassembly:
-Inspect all glass kit components. Verify that the repair kit is the correct one for the
model gage that is being repaired. Carefully inspect the glass for any chips, cracks or
scratches. Do not use the glass if it is damaged! Inspect the Mica shields and gaskets
for any visible signs of damage, Do not use these components if damaged!
-Use a bronze or brass scraper to remove any bits of gasket material that may
remain, without causing damage to the gage body or cover plate(s).
-Examine body gasket surfaces for steam cuts or scratches. Gougedor scratched
gasket surfaces may be re-machined if necessary. See Clark-Reliance Form E190-A
for machining details and tolerances.
-Locate the gaskets, Mica (if on Flat Glass Gages), and glass centrally in the seat and
cover to avoid any glass-metal contact at the ends or sides.
-Clean and lubricate all fasteners with Molycote or similar high temperature anti-seize
lubricant.
-Tighten nuts ‘finger tight’ in the sequence shown in the sketch. Using a calibrated
torque wrench, tighten all nuts in the proper sequence in 1/3
rd
increments.
