3.9 Setting Up the Bulkhead Fitting
Apply thread sealant to the outside threads of the bulkhead body.
Screw the bulkhead body into the tapped hole, and lightly tighten
using a 14mm [9/16”] spanner.
Wipe the area clean of any excess thread sealant (inside and
outside of the housing).
Insert the free end of the seal housing tube into the bulkhead fitting
until it protrudes approximately 8mm [5/16”] through the other side.
From the outside of the housing, assemble one of the small O-rings
over the top of the short length of seal housing tube protruding
through the bulkhead fitting.
Install the brass spacer.
Install the second small O-ring after the spacer.
While holding the seal housing tube into the bulkhead fitting, insert
the chamfered end of the center compression nut over the
extended tube as shown in the assembly diagram (Fig. Error!
Reference source not found.), and screw it into the bulkhead
body, and tighten using Pozidriv #3 screwdriver.

NOTE : Make sure the seal housing tube is all of the way into
the center compression nut while you are tightening
it.
NOTE : Firmly tighten the center compression nut so that a
good seal is formed around the tube.
