		Remove the Back Nut and the Low Density Poly Washer (the firmer of the 2 washers) from theTank Fitting Body. Slide the Tank Fitting Bodythrough the hole in the tank. The Rubber Washermust be between the Fitting Body Flange and the tank wall (ensure the ribs on the Rubber Washerare sealing against the tank wall).
		On the inside of the tank wall, slide the Low Density Poly Washer back onto the Tank Fitting Body and then wind on the Back Nut.
		Tighten the Back Nut so that the face of both washers make full contact with the tank wall to obtain a water tight seal. Ensure that you comply with the tank manufacturers specifications
		When adding additional fittings it is recommended that either a thread sealing paste or thread sealing tape be used on all threaded connections. We recommend Loctite 5331
