Installing the Bulkhead Fitting

c To obtain an oil tight seal, apply a thread sealant to the threads of

the bulkhead body.

into the bulkhead port, and tighten.

c Wipe the area clean of any excess thread sealant (inside and

outside of the housing).

Setting Up the Bulkhead Fitting

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

the top of the small length of seal housing tube that can be seen
inside the bulkhead fitting.

c While holding the seal housing tube at depth, insert the small drilled

end of the center compression nut over the extended tube as
shown in the assembly diagram (Fig.12.), and screw it into the
bulkhead body, and tighten.

Figure 12.

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.)
