Setting Up the Bulkhead Fitting

Trim the seal housing tube that is extended through the bulkhead

port to approximately 8mm [5/16”] long using an automotive brake
line tubing cutter.

NOTE : Never use a hacksaw to cut the seal housing tube as

this will leave metal filings in the air system.

Apply thread sealant to the threads of the bulkhead body.
Screw the bulkhead body into the tapped hole, and tighten.
Wipe the area clean of any excess thread sealant (inside and

outside of the housing).

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

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

While 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.12.), 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.12.
