Step 1

Insert approximately two (2) inches of the gasket at Point 1.

Step 2

Find the center of the remaining part of the gasket and insert approximately two (2) inches at Point 2.

Step 3

Find the center of the seal between Points 1 and 2 and insert approximately two (2) inches into Points 3 and 4.

Step 4

Find the center of the seal at Points 5, 6, 7, and 8 on the gasket and insert approximately two (2) inches into the channel at these points.

Step 5

Insert the gasket into the channel around the chamber with a hand stroke as to compress the seal rather than stretch it. (The reason for this is because the seal is intentionally made a small percentage larger than the opening for it.)

This process is used for all gasket sizes
