compatible with your media. If this does not remove dirt,
hand polish the seat area with Scotch Brite fine emery

ASSEMBLY
WARNING: Before attempting to assemble the rupture disc
and rupture disc holder, confirm that the seat area of the Figure 5 – Alignment pin fitting in tag slot. (ATLAS sizes
rupture disc is designed to fit the rupture disc holder. 14” and larger”)
1. Place holder component with female seat on a work
surface (See Figures 4, 5, & 6). WARNING: For ATLAS sizes 14” and larger, ensure that
the alignment pin in the holddown fits into the tag slot of
base (see Figure 5) and check the gap (see Figure 7).
Fragmentation or leaking can occur if this feature is not
aligned properly.
6. Rotate component with male seat to align sideclip holes.
7. If holder configuration is Insert, install sideclips and tighten
securely.
8. If holder configuration is TQ, turn assembly over to access
capscrew holes (depending on design).
Note: It may be beneficial to move/tilt or support the
holder to first install a few capscrews evenly around the
perimeter before turning the assembly over.
9. If holder configuration is TQ or TQ+, lubricate uncoated
capscrews with a light oil such as SAE grade 20. Lubricate
both the threads and the underside of the head. Install
lubricated capscrews and tighten until recessed and snug
in the holder (see Figure 6).
Figure 4 - Insert Holder

2. If the holder was supplied with an optional o-ring groove,

install an o-ring into the groove of the component with the
female seat. Note: Use of an o-ring is for improved sealing
and is not required for proper function of the rupture disc
assembly. Do not install an o-ring unless the holder is
designed to accept these components by Fike!
3. Place rupture disc into holder component with female seat
with flow arrow on tag pointing in the same direction as
holder component with female seat flow arrow.
DiscLocTM tab, if present, must seat properly in recess.
4. If the holder was supplied with an optional o-ring groove,
install an o-ring into the groove of the component with the
male seat. Note: Use of an o-ring is for improved sealing
and is not required for proper function of the rupture disc
assembly. Do not install an o-ring unless the holder is
designed to accept these components by Fike!
5. Carefully align and place holder component with male seat
onto rupture disc with flow arrow in the same direction as
disc and holder component with female seat flow arrows.

6. Using the crisscross pattern shown in Figure 8, apply
torque in 4 steps of 25% increments. For example, if the
torque required from Appendix A is 100 ft-lb, the torque
should be applied in 25 ft-lb increments. Apply 25 ft-lb to

NOTE: Torque values in Appendix A are based on a nut factor K= 0.2. Adjustment to the torque should be considered if the installation
utilizes bolting/lubrication with a nut factor other than K= 0.2. The following expression may be used for correction:

Equation 1: T2 = (T1/K1)*K2 where T1 and K1 are the Fike default torque and nut factor values.

NOTE: Torque values in Tables 1 to 3 are recommended values, but may be increased up to 50% to achieve an increased gasket seal.
If the torque values are unsatisfactory, consult factory.

NOTE: Torque values for Atlas sizes 14” and larger in Tables 4 to 6 were determined by considering ASME PCC-1 and ASME Section
VIII Division 1 Mandatory Appendix II guidelines. Torque values in Appendix A are based on a nut factor K= 0.2. Adjustment to the
torque should be considered if the installation utilizes bolting/lubrication with a nut factor other than K= 0.2. The following expression
may be used for correction:

Equation 1: T2 = (T1/K1)*K2 where T1 and K1 are the Fike default torque and nut factor values.
