WARNING
Leave 1 1/2 threads exposed on fitting when applying teflon tape. This will ensure that no teflon
tape will hang down inside the air system. Teflon tape should be wrapped in such a manner that
when the fitting is tightened the tape will not loosen. Failure to wrap teflon tape correctly may
result in contamination or blockage of the air system and subsequent possible injury or death to
the diver.
(1)
Apply teflon tape to all pipe threads.
NOTE
There are two lines going to the BIBS manifold in the O/L and I/L. Installation of each line is the same.

Install line (1) and tighten fitting nuts (2) and (3).
