How to Use Flange Gaskets Correctly?

Flange Gaskets Are Divided into Front and Back Sides. Do you use them correctly? The gasket, as a component between the connecting piece and the nut, is usually a flat metal or non-metal ring. When used in conjunction with nuts, the selection of the front and back sides of  gaskets is crucial. If installed improperly, it may lead to poor sealing effect and even cause leakage accidents. When installing flat washers with nuts, everyone may encounter installation problems on both sides to some...
