The projecting mounting face transfers load through its specified fastening arrangement. Check gasket, holes and tightening sequence.
- Spigot
The projecting portion locates in a matching recess or hole. A locating fit alone does not establish sealing or retention.
- Threaded boss
The raised receiving feature provides thread depth. Confirm its usable engagement, seating surface and structural limits.
- Gland plate
The plate carries several entries. Check hole spacing, material, sealing, support and any required electrical bonding.
- Seating land
The defined surface receives the specified seal or washer. Check continuity of contact, flatness and surface condition.
A flange, locating spigot, threaded boss, gland plate and seating land each contribute a different mounting feature. Inspect their relationship to the seal and available space.
