Easy Assembly Instructions:

1. Locate and Cut Hole: Determine the proper placement and cut the designated hole size in the tank (Minimum Hole Size 1-1/2").

2. Insert Tank Adapter: Remove the nut and insert the tank adapter through the hole from the inside of the tank, ensuring the gasket remains in place.

   • Note: Both the body and gasket must be installed inside the tank (except spigot-style adapters, where the gasket is placed on the outside).

3. Tighten Nut: While holding the body from the inside of the tank, tighten the nut clockwise from the outside using your hand or a spanner wrench.

4. Seal Check: A leak-tight seal can be achieved on curved surfaces if the curve allows for full and equal 360° pressure contact between the sealing gasket and the tank wall surface (refer to Minimum Tank Radius below).
