Setting up the Bulkhead Fitting

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

outside of the housing).

c Without using sharp, jagged tools such as pliers (your hands are

the best tool for this job), bend the seal housing tube on the outside
of the housing to approximate the finished profile. This will allow the
tube to be trimmed to a length that would allow it to protrude from
the bulkhead fitting. (See Fig. 12.).

NOTE : Use an automotive brake line tubing cutter to cut the

seal housing tube, never a hacksaw as this will leave
metal filings in the air system.
