 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CARE AND USE OF YOUR POLYCARBONATE TUBE: 

PROTECT YOUR TUBING and sight gauge from direct flame exaust.  Tubing will soften / melt if flame wash heats it past 250 F.
Liquid will boil if you do not shield the fittings.

A HEAT SHIELD (a piece of flat metal under the edge of your vessel) should be used to keep the flames off the sight gauge, valves and thermometers.

To remove  debris, a short soak in powdered brewery wash or oxyclean and a gentle scrub with a nylon tube brush.

DO NOT SOAK FOR LONGER THAN 30 minutes to prevent cracking of your tube

MALE NPT THREADS REQUIRE WHITE OR YELLOW PTFE (TEFLON) PLUMBERS TAPE BEFORE ASSEMBLY.   YOU WILL GALL (BOND) THE THREADS WITHOUT IT.
