You will most likely need to re-orient the dip tube after installation. Loosen the set screw on the shaft collar (
shown in Fig.
7a-7c
) and install the tube in the fitting. When you feel the diptube snap into place, orient it in the correct position. Rotate
the collar on the diptube until the pin engages the small hole in the bulkhead fitting. Tighten the set screw firmly (
shown in
Fig. 7d
).

Optional Rotating Dip Tube: (included)
Your kettle will come an optional rotating dip tube kit including 2 Teflon washers
(Flat) and 1 Teflon O-Ring (Rounded) (
Fig. 17
). To install, replace the silicone
O-ring with the Teflon O-ring (
Fig.18
). Install both Teflon washers on the inside
of the kettle. Once installed your valve and dip tube will be able to rotate.
CAUTION:
Do not over tighten. Insure the kit seals properly before use.
