DATE: January 6, 2010 Servi ce Instruction No. 1238B (Supersedes Service Instruction No. 1238A) Engineering Aspects are FAA (DER) Approved SUBJECT: Assembly and Torque Procedures for V-Band Couplings MODELS AFFECTED: Lycoming turbocharged engines.

TIME OF COMPLIANCE: When assembli ng V-band couplings to the engine.

V-band couplings are employed by Lycoming on certain ai rframe applications such as the Piper Malibu and Saratoga or by other airframe ma nufacturers at various locations in tu rbocharger exhaust systems. They are used primarily to seal joints in the exhaust syst em without the necessity for heavy bolted flanges. The typical V-band coupling joint consists of the coupling, two flanges and a metal gasket.

For V-band couplings employed by Lyco ming, a typical example of their in stallation can be found at the transition assembly and rear exhaust adapter pipe as shown in Figure 1. The proper assembly procedure for the V-band coupling is as follows:

CAUTION Proper installation is critical. Tubes and components to be joined must be aligned with each other before installation of the V-band couplin g. Flanges must also be aligned correctly with zero gap between flange faces prior to V-band coupli ng installation to ensure good joint performance.

1. Slip V-band coupling (1) over the exhaust adapter pipe (2).

2. Place the special metal gasket (3) in position with lip of gasket facing exhaust adapter pipe (2).

NOTE 1 Anytime a V-band coupling is disassembled, a new gasket must be inst alled at reassembly.

This will ensure maximum sealing efficiency of the joint.

3. Join the machined flange of the transition assembly (4) and the coupling flange of the exhaust adapter pipe (2).

4. With both flanges joined, assemble the V-band coupling (1) over both flanges and the gasket (3).

5. Press the V-band coupling (1) over the flanges and engage the latch on the coupling. Using a torque indicator wrench, tighten coupling latch nut to a pproximately 70% of torque value. Tap the outer surfaces of the coupling with a rubber mallet to distribute the band tension.

6. Check the torque with wrench, and continue tightening until the specified torque is reached. Repeat as in step 5. until torque reading stabilizes. Do not overtorque.

NOTE 2 Two types of coupling latch nuts may be f ound on 2.00 inch V-band couplings. A split type lock nut, as described with a sp ecified torque of 80 in.-lbs., or a drilled hex. nut secured with safety wire, having a torque value of 75 in.-lbs. See Table 1 for additional information.
