Tapping Tool is required. The following procedure
should be followed to assemble this tool:
1. Select the correct valve adapter, pilot drill, exten-
sion, and saw adapter from the Valve Adapter Chart
(Chart 1). The Flow Chart (Chart 2) will assist in de-
termining the required equipment to perform the tap.
2. Extend the tool by turning the sleeve counter-clock-
wise.
3. Inspect the o-ring seal in the valve adapter and re-
place if necessary.
4. Holding the bronze feed screw by the flats, hand-as-
semble the valve adapter onto the bronze feed screw.
Operator will feel first the seal engaging and then feel
the adapter reach an abrupt stop as the bronze feed
screw "bottoms out" in the valve adapter (Figure 1).
Collapse the tool by turning the sleeve clockwise.
