Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the mating flange surfaces are clean and free of debris before installing the Walker 31530 gasket. Align the gasket carefully using the bolt hole centers of 4.5 inches and 4.21 inches to avoid misalignment. Tighten bolts evenly in a crisscross pattern to achieve uniform pressure and prevent gasket damage. Avoid over-tightening, which can compress the gasket excessively and reduce its sealing effectiveness.
