When servicing a fitting that utilizes sealing washers, note the following:

^ Do not reuse a sealing washer.
^ Sealing washers do not have to be lubricated prior to assembly.
1. Install sealing washer onto block fitting. Washers must "bottom" against surface of block fitting.
2. Hold block fitting in position. (Be sure the sealing washers are seated). Tighten attachment bolt or nut.
