Step 3 – Assembling the duotight bulkhead fitting
1.
Push the thread of the supplied duotight Bulkhead fitting into the hole from the outside of
the lid, it should be a tight fit and you may need to rotate the thread as you insert it into the
hole.
2.
Once the duotight fitting has been inserted into the hole make sure that it is flush with the
face of the lid and then tighten the stainless steel nut onto the thread on the inside of the
lid.
NOTE: Make sure to not overtighten the nut as it could strip the thread of the duotight fitting.
Step 4 – Inserting the Thermowell into the duotight bulkhead fitting
1.
Place some food-grade lubricant (Part
) on the
closed end of the Thermowell.
2.
Push the Thermowell into the duotight Fitting from the
outside of the lid.
3.
Push the Thermowell in until you hear a click. To ensure
the thermowell is locked in place, pull up on the
Thermowell and you should see the collet push up.
Lastly, perform a leak test by filling the FermZilla with water and
then pressurise the FermZilla with approximately 10 PSI. Listen
for any sounds of leaking gas and spray or sponge detergent
solution onto the lid and look for any leaks in the form of bubbles forming.
