Attached the Full Port Valve to the Mounting HardwareAttached the Full Port Valve to the Mounting HardwareThreaded Flo-tapFirst, thread the guide nipple into the mounting then thread the valve
Flanged Flo-tap
The valve stem should be in-line with the pipe so it will not interfere with the insertion rods
The valve must be a full port valve to allow the Annubar to pass through the valve into the pipe

Shown twisted ~90° from Gear Drive Plate
Top Plate and Gear Drive Plate should remain parallel during insertion
If Using a Drill for Insertion, Attach the Drill to the Insertion MechanismIf Using a Drill for Insertion, Attach the Drill to the Insertion Mechanism Do not exceed
200 RPM on the Drill
