Trim the end of the tube to length (as shown in Figure 14.) so that it
will poke out of the end of the bulkhead fitting.

Make sure the seal housing tube and the grooves of the seal
housing are clean and free from any contaminants (e.g., water, dirt,
metal filings, etc.).
Inspect the seal housing O-rings (supplied) for dirt, damage or
other conditions which might cause leaks.
NOTE : Be careful not to bend the seal housing tube or
damage the O-ring grooves.
Generously lubricate the O-rings with oil prior to assembly, then
insert them into the grooves of the seal housing.
NOTE : When assembling the O-rings, be careful not to leave
them twisted when seated in the grooves as this could
cause excessive wear and leakage.
Assemble the shim pack and seal housing (‘D’ in Figure 9.) into the
bearing bore of the shallow half of the clamshell.
Position the seal housing so that the end of the seal housing tube
goes through the center of the bulkhead port hole (Refer to Figure
15.).
