Setting up the Bulkhead Fitting
Apply thread sealant to the outside threads of the bulkhead body.
Screw the bulkhead body into the tapped hole, and lightly tighten
using a 14mm [9/16”] spanner.
Wipe the area clean of any excess thread sealant (inside and
outside of the housing).
Without using sharp, jagged tools such as pliers (your hands are
the best tool for this job), bend the seal housing tube to
approximate the finished profile. This will allow the tube to be
trimmed to a length that would allow it to protrude from the
bulkhead fitting. (Fig.13.)
NOTE : Use an automotive brake line tubing cutter to cut the
seal housing tube. Never a hacksaw as this will leave
metal filings in the air system.
Figure 13.
