Gasket Installation - BrewBuilt X2 UNI Assembly Instructions Manual

`
LID GASKET ASSEMBLY
• Flip the lid upside down and install a section of the gasket, flat side seating, into the
lid groove first. Lightly push the gasket in, installing it in the groove as you go around
the lid.
• Please Note, the gasket is larger than the groove to help ensure a tight seal during
fermentation. Continue pushing the gasket against itself and into the lid until it is
in the groove and equally distributed without stretch points. Once you get the first
piece of the gasket in the groove, you can use both hands to work the gasket around
the lid and into the groove with your thumbs.
LID CLAMP ASSEMBLY
Improper assembly of the lid clamp can cause the X2 Lid to be released while under pressure, possibly resulting in injury or death.
• When installing the lid clamp, be careful to install it according to the pictures shown here.
• Ensure that the lid is centered on top of the conical body during assembly. The two should be centered so that the clamp seals down evenly.
• Lid Clamp should be entirely hand tightened so there is a 5/8" gap between the ends on the 25 and 38-gallon models and a 1/8" gap on the 7 and 14-gallon
models. See assembly pictures below for proper setup.
• REQUIRED: Before every use of your conical, add Vaseline or keg lube to your lid clamp threads before assembling. Lubrication reduces galling, extending the
life of your lid clamp & eases installation.
