1.4 Tightening torques
All screws greased, tighten in diametrically
opposite sequence!
After the plant has been started up (especially with the
first temperature load) the tightening torques must be
checked and the correct value set again.
The tightening torques for pipe screws and body
screws mentioned must not be exceeded. For an ex-
ception, see Section 8, flange connection valve/pipe
is leaking.
The following tightening torques are recommended:
