socket wrench 

Consult the table of tightening torques 
and tighten to the proper torque 

Orifice Plug 
Gasket 

Remove the gasket 
and clean sealing 
surfaces 

Replace with a new gasket; coat 
surfaces with anti-seize 

Orifice 

Remove with a 
socket wrench 

Insert with the proper orientation 
(Fig. D): insert from the outside, 
pushing in until it contacts the 
stopper inside; if the condensate 
discharge hole is pointing sideways, 
extended use may result in a hole 
in the body
