Insert the inlet end of the Series AH1-CC, AH2-CC, or AH2-CC-300

Verify that the gasket is seated fully in the gasket pocket of each
housing and that the housings' keys engage with the spacer on the
inlet end of the Series AH1-CC, AH2-CC, or AH2-CC-300 Flexible
Hose.
5a.
Reinstall the two bolts and nuts that were removed in step 4.
NOTE:
Verify that the oval neck of each bolt seats properly in the bolt
holes. DO NOT tighten the nuts completely. The bolt pads need to
be set at a gap for installation of the fitting. The nuts should be flush
with the top of each bolt to provide the proper gap. Use caution when
handling the fitting/hose assembly (the fitting may not be secured
completely to the inlet end of the Series AH1-CC, AH2-CC, or
AH2-CC-300 Flexible Hose).
6.
Follow the steps in the I-101/103 or I-102/104 installation instructions for the required tightening sequence.
NOTE:
During tightening, verify
that the inlet end of the Series AH1-CC, AH2-CC, or AH2-CC-300 Flexible Hose remains straight and aligned with the opening of the No. 101
90° Elbow or No. 102 Straight Tee. The I-101/103 or I-102/104 can be accessed and downloaded by scanning the applicable QR code below. In
addition, these instructions contain important reassembly instructions and shall be referenced any time a No. 101 90° Elbow or No. 102 Straight
