Acut grooves into the flange with a chisel to ensure good gasket contact
Bplace the gasket over the flange and knock off the excess material with a lead mallet
Cmake up the flanged joint to make an impression of the flange surfaces to insure a pattern for proper alignment
Dremove excess gasket material by trimming with scissors or tin snips
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) remove excess gasket material by trimming with scissors or tin snips. To properly make and fit a new gasket to a flange, you should trim the gasket to the correct size using scissors or tin snips. This ensures the gasket fits the flange exactly, creating a tight seal without any excess material that could interfere with the joint. Cutting grooves in the flange (A), knocking off excess material with a mallet (B), or making an impression of the flange (C) are not the proper methods for fitting a new gasket. Trimming the gasket to size is the recommended approach to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
