2.2.3

The rotorseal mounting flange has seven
female ports on the outside diameter of the
flange. One port is air and six others are water
inlet and outlet ports. All ports are clearly
marked. See Table 3 for thread sizes.

NOTE: 2 each inlet and outlet ports are tempo-
rarily sealed with pipe plugs in the event they
are not required.

2.2.4

A good pipe thread sealant should be used
when connecting piping and hoses to the 
rotorseal.

2.2.5

Use of a hold back device may be desired to
assist in preventing the hoses attached to the
housing from kinking during operation/rotation.
