Collection vessel leak
It is important to lubricate the o-ring of the collection vessel well and not overtighten the vessel
onto the butterfly valve. Not lubricating the collection vessel can result in leaks and this coupled
with overtightening can result in the collection vessel being difficult to remove.
Step 1. Remove the collection vessel and inspect the o-ring for any signs of damage. Replace the o-
ring if it is damaged.
Step 2. Lubricate the o-ring and reseat it.
Step 3. Hand tighten the collection vessel onto the butterfly valve. There should be no thread
showing. If it still leaks after hand tightening then torque it another ¼ of a turn with the oil removal
tool.
Step 4. Perform a leak test.
Collection vessel overtightened and difficult to remove
If you have overtightened the collection vessel and the spigot collar is spinning preventing you from
removing the collection vessel then perform the following steps.
Step 1. Apply 5 psi to push the thread of the spigot further down.
Step 2. Tighten the spigot collar.
Step 3. Release the pressure by pulling the pressure relief valve.
Step 4. Rotate the collection vessel clockwise with the oil removal tool.
HINT: You can use a second oil removal to hold the spigot collar allowing you to apply more torque.
