You can save your time for securing vertically oriented CF type flanges by use of Taper-Sealing gasket.

A conventional disk gasket attached to a vertically oriented CF type flange is prone to get out of place during bolting operations. This has been a well-known practical disadvantage of the CF type seal system. Following "punching method" and the "burring method" to make hooks on gasket's rim have been popular today.

Taper-Sealing gasket can be easily shaped into an ellipse, and hooked up to a flange without using any tools and special techniques (However, care should be taken not to bend the gasket too much).
