1. The barbed hose fitting on the cap needs to be replaced by an
elbow fitting. In order to do that, all three fittings have to be
removed first from the cap of the 1-liter bottle. Use wire brush
to clean the green loktite
®
glue off the threads of the fittings.
2. Apply Teflon tape or loktite glue to the threads of the
1
⁄16-inch
NPT elbow fitting (part no. 1601642) and screw the elbow fitting
into the
1
⁄16-inch hole on the cap.
3. Apply Teflon tape or loktite glue to the threads of a
1
⁄16-inch MPT
and a ¼-inch TU Swagelok connector (part no. 1601643) and
screw it onto the elbow.
4. Apply Teflon tape or loktite glue to the threads of the pressure
relief value and the ¼-inch Swagelok fitting for excess liquid
drain line and screw them back onto the cap.
