Diagram Step 3c
•
Using a utility knife or a hand saw, cut both rubber hose (
SK-FTG-J
) in half. Make sure you cut it as straight as possible.
See Fig 3b-1. You should now have four rubbers 3 ¾" long.
•
Apply Teflon tape to threads of two of the caps (
SK-FTG-F
) See Fig 3a-1
•
Thread the caps into the panels as per Diagram Step 3c. Do not over tighten. See Fig 3a-2
•
Put "O" rings (
SK-FTG-I
) on two combination adapters (
SK-FTG-D
) See Fig 3a-3. Thread both combination adapters into
the panels as per Diagram Step 3c. Do not over tighten. See Fig 3a-4
OR
(use adapters that fit best with your existing hoses)
Apply Teflon tape to threads of ribbed adapter (
SK-FTG-P
). See Fig 3a-5. Thread both ribbed adapters into
the panels as per Diagram Step 3c. Do not over tighten. See Fig 3a-6
•
Push the rubber hose you cut in half previously over the panel header as per Diagram Step 3b. Slide a metal collar (
SK-
FTG-L
) onto the rubber hose. Place metal collar

Slide another metal collar onto the rubber hose. Connect the 2 panels together by pushing the rubber hose over the
second panel header. Tighten metal collar to secure assembly. See Fig 3a-11. Repeat for other end of panel.
•
Repeat previous 2 steps for second set of panels. You will use the by-pass valve (
SK-INT-V
) and the Add-on kit
(
SQ-ADDON)
to connect the two sets of panels together.
•
Apply Teflon to threads of by-pass valve (
SK-INT-V
).
•
Screw side of valve with handle into the panel as per Diagram Step 3c. Do not over tighten. See Fig 3a-7
•
Loosen the union on the valve. See Fig 3a-8.
•
Screw other side of valve into the panel as per Diagram Step 3c. Do not over tighten. See Fig 3a-9
