with the alignment and drilling of 2 to 4 evenly spaced rivets. Another option is to use a
compound, such as Pro-Seal, to mount the static port and seal out moisture.
Structural Penetration and Pass-Thru
30 snap bushings have been provided in this kit to make plumbing within the fuselage and
passing through internal structures easier and reduce possible chafing of the tubing. Once a
3/8” (~9.5mm) diameter hole is drilled through the structure that needs to be bypassed, the
snap bushing can be installed by pushing it into the hole. The tubing will fit snugly through the
snap bushing and eliminate the possibility of chafing. Do not route tubing through a bulkhead
without using a snap bushing.
Tubing
The most important consideration when installing tubing for the AOA, Pitot, Static system is to
avoid damage or deformation of the tubing. The tubing cutter provided in the kit is an excellent
way to ensure the tubing will not be crushed or given a jagged edge that scissors or other
cutting tools might produce. Poor cuts can lead to leaky tubes or damage to the fitting to which
they are connected. These leaks may not be obvious at first but can develop over time.
When connecting a tube to a fitting it is important to ensure that the tubing is completely
sealed in and has bottomed out. Push the tubing into the fitting until you feel it stop. Push with
more pressure and the tube will slide in further and finally bottom out. One way to ensure the
tube has been pushed in all the way is to draw a small mark ½” (12mm) up from the end of the
tubing going into the fitting. When the tubing is fully inserted into the fitting that mark should
fall completely below the lip of the fitting and no longer be visible.
Terminating the AOA, Pitot, Static lines into an SV-ADAHARS-200/201 is discussed in Section 5.
