Abstract
A nut () is affixed to an outer surface of a transition impingement sleeve forward ring () that encircles, and is affixed to, a forward end () of a tubular transition impingement sleeve (). The nut has a threaded hole () aligned with a hole () in the impingement sleeve forward ring. A machine screw () is threaded into the nut and extends through the hole (), and has a radially inner end with a wear pad (), and a radially outer end with a turning tool engagement element (). The wear pad contacts an outer surface of an aft portion of a transition piece forward outer ring () that is surrounded by the transition impingement sleeve forward ring (). The rotational position of the machine screw () sets a radial gap () between the transition impingement sleeve forward ring and the transition piece forward outer ring.
