3 Installing the Air Locker

c Insert the free end of the seal housing tube into the bulkhead fitting

until it protrudes approximately 8mm [5/16”] through the other side.

c From the outside of the housing, assemble the small O-ring over

the top of the short length of seal housing protruding through the
bulkhead fitting.

c While still holding the seal housing tube into the bulkhead fitting,

insert the small drilled end of the center compression nut over the
extended tube as shown in the assembly diagram (Fig.18.), and
screw it into the bulkhead body, and lightly tighten.

NOTE : Be sure to insert the correct end of the center

compression nut into the bulkhead body. The thread
has been partially relieved on the bulkhead side of the
center compression nut to visually identify its
orientation. (Fig.18.)

Figure 18.

NOTE : Excessive tightening of the center compression nut is

not necessary to form a good seal around the tube
and may damage the O-ring, the seal housing tube, or
the threads of the compression nut.

NOTE : Make sure the seal housing tube is all of the way into

the center compression nut while you are tightening
it.
