AquaBlock 2 - Maintenance

To reinstall, the plastic threaded nipples (that the
disconnect will attach to) must have all residual pipe
tape removed, then replaced. Remove all tape
from the threads carefully, do not damage threads
or o-rings. Apply new thread tape to threads only.
6-8 complete turns of tape is required, more tape
may damage threads and less tape may result in
leakage of the assembly.
While holding the part with the threaded nipple
tight against the plastic block, insert the female
disconnect, thread onto the nipple by hand. (It may
be helpful to use the socket only with no ratchet
attached.) Tighten until the disconnect gets close
to meeting the plastic block. (It is best to make
1/4 or less turns at a time when tightening.) At this
time, insert a .030 (0.76mm) feeler gage or pin
between the metal flange of the disconnect and
the plastic block. Tighten disconnect until a slight
drag can be felt on the feeler or pin gage. Make
sure nipple part is pushed up against the plastic
block when checking the gap.
Removal of Disconnects
Remove all old tape carefully.
Add 6-8 turns of new tape.
