1) Hydraulic Valve Assembly:

the open end of the outlet strainer
into the opening on the assembly

N.B. Items pictured are from the BBF 1.5. On the larger models the waste
outlet strainer will appear longer, and the top outlet will have an extension
piece. Ensure all parts are present before proceeding and contact your
dealer immediately if anything is missing or damaged.
With the insertion end of the male fitting facing you, tightly wrap ample
P.T.F.E. tape on in a clockwise direction. If the tape is wound on in the
wrong direction it will tend to peel off as the fitting is screwed in. Thinner
brands of tape may require five+ winds depth to provide a sufficient seal.
3) Hydraulic Valve Feed Pipe: After wrapping
the thread with PTFE, screw the small elbowed
hose tail into the hole in the base of the hydraulic
valve. Do not tighten fully at this stage. Fit on the
clear hydraulic feed pipe, and clamp it with the
hose clip provided. „
