Introduction

The enclosure vent allows the release of trapped air when using the watertight enclosures. Once sealed, it provides a reliable high-pressure seal against water.

Important Notes

Always inspect the O-rings before inserting the plug. Any dust, hair, or other particles can cause a leak.

Use plastic tools, NOT steel or other hard tools, to remove the O-rings from the aluminum sealing flange. Hard tools can create scrapes that will compromise sealing ability.

Assembly

Tools Needed:

• Silicone grease

Steps:

1. Lubricate the O-rings with a thin layer of silicon grease. Install the small O-rings on the plug and install the large O-ring on the bolt.

2. Using the provided nut, secure the bolt to an appropriate hole in the watertight enclosure.

3. Insert the plug and tighten.
