should be located 2 to 3 inches from the front of the tank. (See Diagram D)

4. Insert the fluropolymer seal into the reducer bushing. (See Diagram D)

5. Apply silicone sealant to the high temperature limit bulkhead fitting and install the fitting into the reducer
bushing. (See Diagram D)

6. Adjust how much of the capillary is inside the tank until it travels a short, smooth and kink free path inside the
tank. Assure that the capillary does NOT come in contact with the element at any point.
