2: From outside the Hose Hut Container (A), insert the male end of the 4 ft. stainless steel Supply Hose (C) through the lower supply hole (opening) of the Hose Hut Container (A).
3: Connect the male end of the 4 ft. stainless steel Supply Hose (C) to the female end of the Expandable Hose (B) and place inside the Hose Hut Container (A). DO NOT over tighten, as thread damage may occur. If there is any seepage, use a pair of pliers and GENTLY tighten until seepage stops.
4: Allowing 4-6 inches of the stainless steel Supply Hose (C) inside the Hose Hut Container (A), place the Chaffing Ring (H) around the Supply Hose (C) outside of the Hose Hut Container (A). Face the smaller side of the Chaffing Ring (H) towards the Hose Hut Container (A). Gently work the Chaffing Ring (H) (small side) inside the lower supply hole for a snug fit. This is a protective measure for the hoses, not a watertight seal. Hold the Chaffing Ring (H) in place and slide the stainless steel hose outside the Hose Hut Container (A) until 1-2 inches remain inside the Hose Hut Container (A).
5: Connect the brass Y-Valve (F) to your water supply. The best practice is to use Teflon tape over the threads before tightening. DO NOT over tighten, as thread damage may occur. If there is seepage, use a pair of pliers to GENTLY tighten the Y-connection until seepage stops. The best practice is to change the Teflon tape seasonally to keep materials from the Galvanic Effect (corrosion of two dissimilar metals).
6: Connect the female end of the 4 ft. stainless steel Supply Hose (C) to one of the Y-connections of the Y-Valve (F). The best practice is to use Teflon tape over the threads before tightening.
DO NOT over tighten, as thread damage may occur. If there is seepage, use a pair of pliers to GENTLY tighten until seepage stops. The best practice is to change the Teflon tape seasonally to keep materials protected.
7: Connect the female end of the 6 ft. stainless steel Convenience Hose (D) to the other Y-connection of the Y-Valve (F). The best practice is to use Teflon tape over the threads before tightening. DO NOT over tighten, as thread damage may occur. If there is seepage, use a pair of pliers to GENTLY tighten until seepage stops. The best practice is to change the Teflon tape seasonally to keep materials protected.
