Step One:
First remove both bulkhead nuts from the heater
coil. Next install the heater coil through the lid and
plug guard as shown in Figure 1. Make certain the lid
is oriented as show or the RIMS Rocket™ electric
recirculation heater will not seal. Last, re-install the
bulkhead nuts finger tight.
Warning:
NEVER install the RIMS Rocket™ electric
recirculation heater without the plug guard. Doing
so can result in personal property damage, injury,
electrocution and death.

Step Two:
Using a 1” open end or adjustable wrench, hold the
bulkhead fitting while tightening the bulkhead
retaining nut with a 7/8” deep well socket and
ratchet as shown in Figure 2. Tighten both
bulkhead retaining nuts before proceeding.
Step Three:
Place the large black O-ring provided with
your HopRocket™ over the heater coil and
locate it in the recessed portion of the lid.
Next, remove all internal components from
the HopRocket™ canister and install the
canister over the heater coil and situate it on
the lid and large black O-ring seal as shown in
Figure 3. Lastly, install the band clamp and T-
handle nut as per the instructions provided in
the HopRocket™ Owner’s Manual.
Caution:
ALWAYS apply a lubricant such as
petroleum jelly, food grade silicone grease, or
mineral oil to the draw bolt and T-handle nut
to prevent the threads from seizing. Thread
galling is not covered under warranty.
