allow to soak

Italian translation: lasciando che si impregni completamente

17:51 Dec 21, 2016
English to Italian translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Thermostatic valve
English term or phrase: allow to soak
Manuale relativo a una valvola termostatica. La frase completa è:

Where fitted, lubricate gasket liberally with a good grade of petroleum grease, *allow to soak*.

Il senso l'ho capito ma mi suona un po' strano... sono alla ricerca di una soluzione 'elegante' :)

Grazie a tutti.
