FermZilla 304 Stainless Steel Handles Assembly 

 

1.

 

Insert a bolt into a hole of each of the handles. 

 

2.

 

Screw a nut onto the bolt. Don’t tighten this nut yet. 

 

3.

 

Place the handles around the collar of the FermZilla as shown in the image below. 

 

4.

 

Insert the second bolt into the remaining holes on the handle and screw the remaining nut 
onto this bolt. 

 

5.

 

Tighten the two nuts while holding the bolts to prevent them from spinning. Do not 
overtighten as it can warp the opening of the FermZilla. The handles should be able to freely 
rotate around the neck of the FermZilla. If they cannot rotate then it is too tight. 

 

NOTE: It is suggested to orientate the handle during assembly such that the exposed thread of the 

bolt furthest away from you is oriented to the left so that when undoing the collar of the FermZilla it 
reduces the risk of hitting 

your hand on this exposed 

thread of the bolt. This 

orientation is shown to the 

right.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FermZilla – Butterfly (Dump) Valve Assembly

 

 

Place the 3” tri-clover seal and butterfly valve onto the 3” tri-clover ferrule on the tank.  Fasten the 

butterfly valve in place onto the vessel using the 3” tri-clover 3-Piece clamp, ensuring that the seal is 
seated in the groove on the butterfly valve and tank.
