Thoroughly clean 'CF-21' gasket prep on bottom of 20-3/4" 3,000 psi drilling riser
adaptor and top of lowermost housing.
Note: The drilling riser adaptor should already be connected to the rig BOP.

lowermost housing.
3.0
4.0
Install 'CF-21' gasket into 20-3/4" lowermost housing hub and lower BOP with
drilling riser adaptor onto connection.
5.0
Make-up the fastlock connector by tightening each drive screw in sequence and to
the correct torque specification. The correct sequence is to tighten opposite screws
in pairs to 200 ft.lbf and work around the connector in a right hand or left hand
direction. A second application of torque at the correct torque specification should
be applied in the same sequence to ensure make-up. The torque for each drive
screw is 600 ft.lbf.
6.0
When the fastlock connector is fully made up, the ends of the drive screws should
be flush or just below flush with the end of the bushings.
7.0
If necessary, fill the area around the segments with a general purpose grease using
the fitting on the body. A vent fitting is located opposite the grease fitting to
release any trapped air. Fill the connector with grease until all the air is displaced
and grease begins coming out of the vent fitting.
