    This simplifies installation of the air filter. If you turn the inlet, you will need longer tubing. Either acquire colored tubing locally or contact Waterous for the correct lengths and colors. To change the rotation of the air inlet, disconnect the tubing, unbolt the inlet, rotate the inlet and install the new tubing.
