Fitting in sailing boats
When fitting remember that the filler hose must always be posi-
tioned on the same side of the boat as the tank.
This prevents too high a pressure from possibly occurring in the tank
when sailing heeled.
2 2 Fitting the inspection cover and fittings
Position the connector lid preferably where plug P is located
• Use the drill stencil supplied to make the hole for the cover. Finish
the hole free of burrs.
• Drill the three holes (43 mm. diameter) for the fittings. Two holes
on the top for the filler pipe and air-relief pipe, one on the under-
side for the tap water supply.
• Clean the inside of the tank.
• Fit the cover in the tank using the gasket supplied.
• Screw the cover tight against the backing ring using the screws
supplied.
• Assemble the fittings with the gasket rings supplied. Tighten the
nuts using the wrench, never with water-pump pliers. Do not
tighten the nuts excessively.
• Immediately after filling the tank, check that the connector nip-
ples do not leak, tighten the nuts more securely if required. Re-
peat this after 2 days, and again after 4 days.
