See attached drawing 23709-00D

Before installing the SEAL, the VACONODECK must be in position and centred.
The best method of centring is to use four wooden blocks placed 90° apart under the
upper flange at the circumference of the floating roof.

Installation
The seal is laid out on the circumference of the floating roof. One end is positioned at the
point where the installation of the circumferential clamping channel has been started.

As shown in sketch 1, the seal is curved upwards against the tank wall, and the first hole is
made, using a rubber mallet, at a distance of about 35-50 mm from the inner edge.

Further holes are then punched in the seal, taking care at all times that the outer edge is not
under stress and is held snugly against the tank wall.

Once the first 10 to 20 holes have been punched, and the seal have been placed in position,
the first spacer channel is fitted and bolted down finger-tight.

The complete seal is then installed as described.

Once all the holes have been made in the seal, the end is marked accurately to align with the
start point of the joint, it is then cut and trimmed as necessary, and bonded as shown in
drawing 23709-00D.

Finally ,after the adhesive has cured, all bolts are firmly tightened and the installation of the
seal is thus complete.
