Installation 

 
1.  Apply silicone sealant to the reducer bushing.  Install the bushing into the hi-limit coupling.  (See Diagram D) 
 
2.  Insert the high temperature Limit bulb into the tank through the hi-limit coupling.  (See Diagram D) 
 
3.  Secure the bulb to the heating element using two bulb clamps, 10-24 screws and wing nuts.  The clamp 

should be located 2 to 3 inches from the front of the tank.  (See Diagram D) 

 
4.  Insert the fluropolymer seal into the reducer bushing.  (See Diagram D) 
 
5.  Apply silicone sealant to the high temperature limit bulkhead fitting and install the fitting into the reducer 

bushing.  (See Diagram D) 

 
6.  Adjust how much of the capillary is inside the tank until it travels a short, smooth and kink free path inside the 

tank.  Assure that the capillary does NOT come in contact with the element at any point. 

 
7.  Tighten the compression screw on the bulkhead fitting until the capillary is secure.  (See Diagram D) 
 
8.  Fill the cook tank with water and inspect the tank coupling connections to assure that they are leak free. 
 
9.  Drain the water from the tank before proceeding. 
 
10. Connect the 

new

 high temperature limit wires to the existing wiring inside the entrance box. 

 
11. Install the 

new

 element shield cover subassembly and secure using the screw removed during disassembly.
