FOR MODELS: JG AND JGA SECTION 5 - MAINTENANCE<br />

high pressure applications, place a new, proper, soft metallic wire gasket on the retainer and<br />

install the valve cap. Be careful not to gouge the bore, distort or damage the wire gasket.<br />

Always use a new metallic wire gasket; wire gaskets are not reusable.<br />

Lubricate threads and bolt seating surfaces with petroleum type lubricant, and install bolts.<br />

Do not use anti-seize compounds on valve cap bolting. Tighten each bolt until snug using a<br />

criss-cross pattern. Next, tighten each bolt to 25% of full torque, moving across from bolt to<br />

bolt, in a criss-cross pattern. See Figure 5-19: 1-2-3-4-5. Repeat this step for 50%, 75% and<br />

100% of full torque.<br />

Proper tightening and torquing is important for all valve caps, but is especially important for<br />

high pressure valve cap assemblies. High pressure applications have caution plates on the<br />

cylinder which are stamped with proper torque values:<br />
